Re: [DML] Reverse grinding

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Warren

I can change a clutch, but I do like to learn when I read something new! 
Why will knocking a fraction off the friction surface make that kind of 
difference? Surely it'll have the opposite effect of making the clutch 
slip rather than having it bite all the time? I'm sure I'm missing 
something here- I've really enjoyed reading your posts lately BTW :-)

Personally I reckon they're buggered up the crossgate cable adjustment 
when pulling the gearbox out. It's the easiest way to get the box out 
but does need to be adjusted down to half-a-turn when going back in. If 
he had trouble with both 5th and reverse, that definitely sets alarm 
bells ringing on crossgate adjustment.
