[QUOTE="Matty, post: 27554, member: 1339"] Just a thought - There are some other reasons why the sliding dog for 4th gear (or any others for that matter) may not engage deeply enough:- Too much end float on the selector shaft Wear on the pins of the selector fork(s) Wear on the selector forks Any or a combination of these could contribute to the problem - but I must say - partly for my own peace of mind - that I would expect some problems with jumping out of 4th as an early warning before the "welding" took place. I hardly like to ask, but had the faulty boxes run out of lubricant before the failure and what lubricant had been used? Matty [/QUOTE]
