Reply to "Gear selection problems"

I think I am running the risk of boring you blokes rigid with my feeble efforts to get a car to go into gear!
But when I said that was the linkage, I meant it showed the bell crank bracket. Bosswrench the pins and all holes are spot on A1 round so thats OK.
I was so convinced that it must be the bell crank
but it wasn't so whats left, I took out the gearbox, and found nothing amiss with any of the components.
EXCEPT the only part I hadn't bought new was the spinner plate, what I did with this was have it re conditioned by a local clutch company.

This being the case, I took the spinner to another Pantera owner in Lancashire to compare it with an original Pantera plate he had taken from his car.

The difference in the plates was drastic, and I can only assume that the company that relined my spinner just gave me another type from their stock which was the same diameter and spline configuration.

Not knowing that the pantera spinner is unique to the Pantera I just fitted it.

So trying to save a bit of cash has probably cost me dearly.

I have been in this position now thinking I have found the problem many times, but will start assembly again tomorrow with my pals spinner plate which he has very kindly donated.

to be continued as they say but fingers crossed again……………………………………...
