Dropping disco gearbox

[RobRainford]

Got a gear selection issue, I think the bias plates gone and I'm struggling to select a few gears. They were fine before that. Drove to and from Wales down country lanes so lots of 2-3-4 gear usage. Fine all day till I was near home and struggled for 2 & 4. Then I tried reverse with almost no joy for a few minutes.

 

Plan to drop gearbox anyway to do rear oil seal and refresh clutch parts with HD clutch and fork. Do I need any other parts while I'm there? Will do a service too.

 

Have I diagnosed the problem right? What parts will I need to fix this, potentially?

 

Got a workshop to do the job in so no issue for space or timescale.

Not a synchro is it? Can't remember whether they're in pairs on the 380...

Send me your email address Rob and I'll email you the RAVE manual for the car, think I have 380 overhaul manual aswell.....

It can be the grub screw below the stick that needs tightening up.
