Carrier gearshift binds in first gear

[Rob Beale]

Hi Darryl,

I had a problem with the gearshift sticking too, and found it was misaligned mounting blocks. We had replaced the engine bearer channels. I loosened the bolts a fraction and keep an oil can handy to oil it whenever we go out.
So far so good, and that is about 14 years!

At the Men of Steel event in Hamilton, I got a bellyful of sand as the hull plates are off, and that jammed things up too. A bit of time with a paintbrush to sweep the sand out of the hull and clear the gear shift shaft and mountings, and a bit of oil on the shaft and things were fine again.

How is it now that you have done the gear selectors?
