TV175 third gear

[Leotech]

Just built a new motor for the season and every time I select third gear the dogs slip around 2 or 3 times until it settles, I'm thinking I need a new third gear as the other 3 gears are fine. Do you agree? or is it worth trying a new spring first? Im not leathering it, I'm only just being gentle as its getting run in.

Has anyone got a TV175 / SX200 third gear they would sell thats in good condition or even better new?

From your description, it sounds like you may have third gear in back to front....

I did think that! but I always use the original manual whenever I fit a gearbox. Its one if those things I never try to remember.

I intend to check it.

Is this a known working box?.....I've sold up now, so have no books, notes etc, but I recall that a 37 tooth 3rd gear is also used elsewhere and is slightly different in circumference...hope that you have solved your problem without this 'help'!

Yes it was working before but in an engine I never really used.
