Title: 5-speed Gearbox
Reason: Assembly procedure amended
Action: Amend the Workshop Manuals, Section 'F' (Gearbox), Front Cover - ascertaining the correct bearings 'nip'.

Elan +2 Manual:
  • On page 49 of Section V, paragraph 29, delete the line 'Compressed gasket = .20 mm' and insert in its place:
  • Measure the uncompressed new gasket thickness = C
  • Size of spacer required        = A+B+C

Elite Manual:

On page 11 of 'Gearbox', under the heading 'To Replace' delete lines 'c' and V and add in their place:

  • Measure the uncompressed new gasket thickness = C
  • Shim thickness required is H+C-A. The compression of the gasket on assembly will thus ensure the required bearing 'nip' of .05 mm (.002 in)
