Or wear on the splines in the bore of the third sliding gear and/or on the splines on the splines on the mainshaft in that area. I see that the reflection on the mainshaft appears different in that area of the spline. This will cause the gear to cant over or twist and decrease clearances, thus binding up, or else radial backlash will cause the crown of one gear to mesh higher up the face of another gear rather than centrally in the valley. Is there any signs of galling on the faces of the teeth?.
