David StepneyDon't get me wrong, Brice. I am perfectly happy with my crash box. It is, after all the one that was originally fitted to the car. After nearly 115K miles and 90 years, I suspect that it could be refreshed by fitting new bearings, but, while it is working and giving no trouble I intend to leave well alone. Besides, as I said in my previous post, the gearing is well suited to the local terrain. My original enquiry was simply to understand exactly how the gearbox worked should I ever have to work on it, something that is not apparent either from the parts list or or the section of its overhaul in Doug Woodrow's excellent book.
And, of course, it is a lovely drawing!
Should you ever need to rebuild it David drop me a line as I have photos and some notes - though it isn't a great deal different from the other boxes in practical terms. Yes mine has an impressive howl in 2nd and I briefly get to pretend my car is supercharged!
