Re: Thicker gear shim ?

Thanks guys,yes,I'm thinking the gearbox cogs & cluster could be worn,it's a sil gp 200 box that I've ran in ts1 for about 4 years & I know they aren't as hard wearing as the Italian ones so maybe I do need a new one 😮

Re: Thicker gear shim ?

Hi, when I fitted the 2.2mm shim the smallest feeler gauge I could get to fit was 0.10mm so I could maybe try a 2.4mm shim as the lowest recommended gauge size is 0.07mm ,I could be wrong though, as maths was never my strongest subject 😀!
