gearbox gasket size

What size gasket goes on the inner shell. New gasket is 20 thou and when tightened the gearbox tightens up,back wheel tightens when run in 4th gear. Put 5 thou feeler gauge in and back wheel runs free. Is it a 25 thou gasket or 30 thou gasket to give correct end float. with 25 thou it would seem to be 5 thou. Cheers Conrad

Re: gearbox gasket size

Hi Conrad

I didn't have to re-shim when I took my gearbox apart to replace the output bearing, but there's a previous thread on the forum that may help.

If you finding that's not enough clearance, then maybe the box was set with a think gasket?

Cheers

Re: gearbox gasket size

I am currently having the same issue, replace one of my selectors and went to put it all back together with a new gasket to find it has tightened it to near solid. Will probably try making my own gasket with some thicker gasket paper.
