Frequently asked questions

What is the layshaft distance piece for?
The layshaft distance piece is a precision spacer that sets the axial position of the gear cluster along the layshaft in the Series IIA and III manual gearbox. It controls the running clearance between gears and bearing faces. This one measures 0.445 inches thick.
Why does the distance piece come in a specific thickness?
The 0.445 inch thickness is one of several sizes used to set layshaft end-float during a gearbox build. The correct spacer is selected by measurement so the layshaft has the specified clearance. Confirm which thickness your rebuild needs before ordering, as fitting the wrong size affects end-float.
When is the layshaft distance piece fitted?
The layshaft distance piece is fitted during gearbox assembly or a rebuild on the Series IIA and III box, not as a standalone repair. It's selected as part of the shimming process. Typically you'd only need it when the gearbox is stripped and the layshaft clearances are being reset.
