Wow! It is quiet on here, is there no one working on their Tractions 😉

I am currently flitting between jobs. I have put the new floor in and will update later once that is totally finished.

In the mean time I have checked and serviced my gearbox and got into a state it will be allowed back in the car. It was in a bit of a state and I was worried it was going to be the same inside but from the previous photos it can be seen to quite nice in there.

After about 2 days of cleaning – I am whittling these cleaning jobs down now but they still suck big time 😕

And then finally, the nice job of painting and making everything pretty again. I am also learning a lot about the operation of the gearbox…the hard way… by rebuilding, unbuilding, rebuilding correctly. I like the way the thrust bearing when activated towards the clutch activates the middle lever of the gearbox to allow gear selection. So without pressing the clutch down you can’t select a gear (I know you wouldn’t anyway but this seems to be a fail safe way)
