Hi - I have a minor gearbox irritation on my 51 Comet. Occasionally the gear lever doesn't return , and when I "help" it back with my boot , there is no spring ...I need to feel the lever into gear , but after a while normal service resumes. This happened to me yesterday , and the last time was on the international rally - both times the glitch fixed itself ( wishful thinking!) after a few miles.
I removed the gearbox outer cover when this first happened , but nothing was amiss , so I cleaned everything and put it back together.
Has anyone else come across this , and what should i do ? Its a minor irritation , but if i can fix it , i should .
Thanks in advance for any help.
Peter
