<font face="Arial">Hi Brett,<br>
If my memory is telling me the truth, the 2nd gear
jumping-out problem is probably due to the synchro rings, I advise
you to get these and change them at the same time as it may well
be the gear itself is not at fault (though is best changed if the
gearbox is opened).<br>
<br>
Regards, Andy.<br>

<div>The list is very, very quiet. I think because there are so
many FB groups out there now. I recall the days when there
were 200 odd messages and I struggled to read them all.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The new house is great, but still so much to do outside and
in the workshop. It's a bit like a Mini project, it never
seems to end. </div>

<div>Right now it's the coldest part of the year here in
Australia. We had snow on the weekend, which is quite rare.
The Mini and Moke and tucked up for the winter, but I have had
my old Land Rover Series 3 out a couple of times. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Mini (1966 Mk1 Austin Super-Deluxe 850cc) has a big oil
leak I need to sort. I suspect it's a diff seal. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The 1971 Moke is jumping out of second gear. When I rebuilt
the engine and gearbox a few years ago the dog teeth on second
gear looked a bit dodgy. At the time I could not source a new
DAM6240 wide ratio A+ second gear for love nor money. So I
had to reuse it. Guess what? It started jumping out of
second gear within a few months. The part has now become
available new, so I bought one. I really cannot be bothered
tearing it all down to change it. It's been like that for
about 6,000 miles, so it can wait a few more! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My 1965 Mini Traveller project is sleeping in a shipping
contained, where it has been stored for the last four years
while the new workshop and house was built. In the spring I
will drag it to the workshop. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On a sort-of Mini related front, a couple of years ago I
bought a 1966 BMC Mini Tractor very cheap. These have an
A-series 948cc Diesel engine. With a whole 21hp it's no
rocketship. But it does make me wonder what would happen if I
turbo'd it using MG Metro bits and gave the injector pump a
tweak. I guess I would probably end up with Mini 850 levels
of power for a short time until it blew up :P </div>

I've still got that on my SSD. We really need to switch to

messenger or whatsapp.<br>
