Tlr200 Gear Shift Problem

Featured Replies

Wally has written to me with the following gearbox problem - any dieas?

"I have a 1986 TLR200 with shifting problems. When you tap the shifter into first gear the shift arm will drop 90 degrees down from its neutral position. Think of the shift lever pointing at the ground.

You then have to manually return the shift lever to the horizontal position. It shifts fine from neutral to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on. It also shifts fine going down through the gears until you try going from 2nd gear to first, at this point the shifter fill end up pointing vertically at the ground. Any thoughts on the problem?"

Cheers.

No TLR expert but most selectors work in similar ways. Pin on the selector drum broken or dropped out?

He needs to take the primary cover off and investigate anyway, nearly always a clutch off job too.

I just currently recently bought a TLR. Test drove it and was fine. Then get it home and it has the exact same issue as the one you described. Did you ever find the reason/solution?
