Frequently asked questions

What is the reverse shaft gear (561962) used for?

The 561962 is the reverse idler shaft in the manual gearbox reverse gear train. It carries the reverse idler gear, which meshes between the layshaft and mainshaft to reverse the direction of drive when reverse gear is selected.

What causes a reverse gear shaft to need replacing?

The bearing surfaces typically wear over time from the sliding and rotating loads of the idler gear, especially on high-mileage gearboxes. Worn surfaces usually show up as extra play, grinding, or difficulty engaging reverse gear.

What tools are needed to fit a reverse shaft gear?

This is an internal gearbox component, so fitting it means splitting the gearbox casing to access the reverse idler assembly. It's a specialist gearbox rebuild job, not something done with the box still in the vehicle.
