Hi all,
Dave, many years ago when my then Amazon was the daily family transport we set off for a weekend to Weston Super Mare (familiar Seaside resort in UK). Some 100 miles later on arrival there was this clatter on tickover.
The car sat all Weekend unused and on the return journey which was mostly M5 Motorway the gear clatter became louder but only when back on A & B roads where lower revs and idling were obligatory and the fibre gear was put under more stress from the camshafts inconsistant revs.
After the successful return I fitted a new fibre kit and the centre boss had completely separated from the gear it but still worked (just about).
Which just shows how tough these engines are and also indicates how much notice you will have of any pending failure.
Best Wishes............ Andy
