September 25, 200916 yr Hi, I am puting my Cota 200 back together and I need to know how much end float the gear shafts should have? And which end the shims should go? I am disregarding any shims I took out as it had been rebuilt by Neanderthal Man!! If anyone has an exploded diagram of the gearbox that would be good as I have made some educated guesses on how it goes!!!! Thanks Ian
October 2, 200916 yr Haven't sussed out how to add pictures/files. If you email me at stevecarter1000@hotmail.com I'll send some scans I have of the 200 gearbox. Cheers, Steve
October 3, 200916 yr Basically, you want the shafts centered in the cases with at least one shim at each end. End play? As little as possible without clamping down on the shafts. 2 or 3 thou. Edited October 3, 200916 yr by vintageCota

Oops got the end float right but shims on the left side only!! I have shimmed the selector drum to suit and all gears select ok!
October 3, 200916 yr Probably won't be an issue if you use good oil.... I'm thinking of the shim acting as a thrust bushing to protect the aluminum.
October 24, 200916 yr Hi Chaps this is a link to a diagram of the gear set up http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/dzGE0...feat=directlink I have just sold my Cota 200 but still have the disc as a memoir. Cheer
