Hi steve , mate I think you're on the right track , because when I removed the top plate to have gearbox checked out the springs and the balls got mixed up and when reassembled most probably didn't go back to their original positions. Will have to remove box and check that part of the assembly .By the way I'm using semi syn oil in gearbox,do you think that this may be adding to the problem by being too slippery !!! Maybe I should go back to using good old mineral oil ???? Thanks for your comments ,cheers
