[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 94524, member: 1632"] I've been helping a fellow member with his pre-war Meteor's Burman gearbox. The pushrod that came with it was supposedly of the correct length. It wasn't. He resolved the issue by buying a longer version which I cut down a small amount to achieve a suitable amount of lift of the clutch pressure plate and allow some adjustment. Point being is I don't place to much faith what Burman supposedly fitted based on Burman documentation. The incorrect length of the pushrod was the lesser of all issues we dealt with based on what was supposedly correct. They may have altered the drawings but I think they used parts until stock was exhausted. So when things were supposed to change and actually did are very different dates. On top of suppliers not getting the word. Now I haven't had cause to have my '50 Comet apart yet, it ran pretty well when I bought it 15 years ago, but it crunches a little going into first at a stop. Until the driven plates/clutch hbu and thus the mainshaft stop moving I think you'll get a little bit of that. Steven [/QUOTE]
