Mark II 2nd gear popping out

[Trader]

2nd gear pops out somethimes when I really get on it.

I know Mark I's have the 2nd gear problem...but mine is an 88.

Someone suggested that a shift pin may be bent.

Is that something I can get at while I have the clutch pulled apart..under the clutch basket?

Or is it a split the case job....cause that just isn't going to happen!

It is behind the clutch basket. Take a look at this thread and see if it helps.

Thanks for that reply Don.

Should I replace all the pins while I'm in there or is that only if the shift segment was so badly bent the pins fall out?

[Freebird]

I've never had to do it. Just read about it on here. I wouldn't think that all the pins would need to be replaced though. I would just inspect them and verify that they are all tight and secure.

Just a wild thought: are you sure that engine is a 1300 and not a 1200?

If it were a 1200 then you could easily enough check to see if it is the same problem as experienced by the other 1200s. The split washer in question is very visible if you pull the middle gear cover, it'll be there staring you right in the face at the end of the shaft. With a little careful analysis you can determine if there is wear there.

Good question...I was told the final drive was from a mark1

But the clutch spring was a mark 2 type

The easiest and surest way to determine a 1200 from a 1300 engine is by looking at the engine number.

BTW, care to submit your VIN? And build date?

Forget fixing the shifter pin segments. Replace it with the one piece unit from a second gen. Once the clutch basket is off, easy. I have done my first gen.

I believe I already did.
