Re: which lambretta gearbox?

I built a couple of Mugelloo/Casa Small blocks with LI125 gearboxes as long as you get the ratios right they are spot on and you can pick up cheaper than the li150 boxes

Af close ratio gearbox dosnt use a shim at the bottom of the cluster, ive not seen one but maybe the new indian li150 cluster is machined the same so also dosnt need one ?HxPaul wrote:I have an Indian Li150 box and the shim thats supposed to go on the bottom of the cluster wont sit deep enough,the recess on 4th gear hasn't been machined deep enough and when fitted and tightened up the whole gearbox locks up.
yes i would agree, af say not to fit a shim under the cluster, the cluster is tightened upto the bearing in the endplate so doesnt need the shim, i did have trouble with a gearbox a couple of weeks ago, it was indian and it was too short as a set, i ended up buying another sil 4th gear which fixed the problem, these indian boxes, do need checking before fitting , quality seems to be quite randomfairspares wrote:Af close ratio gearbox dosnt use a shim at the bottom of the cluster, ive not seen one but maybe the new indian li150 cluster is machined the same so also dosnt need one ?HxPaul wrote:I have an Indian Li150 box and the shim thats supposed to go on the bottom of the cluster wont sit deep enough,the recess on 4th gear hasn't been machined deep enough and when fitted and tightened up the whole gearbox locks up.
