Plus Gearbox

[norman]

have just dismantled my gearbox, forgetting that it is plus box I ended up with a pile of needle rollers on the bench. Does anyone know how many go in the front input shaft and the gear on the back of the main shaft?

Norman,
                I'm afraid I can't come up with the actual numbers, but it is quite common practice to have a 'full house' minus 1 roller in each track (to leave enough clearance to reduce scuffing between adjacent rollers). If you end up with this situation, then you probably haven't lost any rollers!!

     Regards,
                    Eddie.

Thanks Eddie, that is what I have ended up with, one space in each row.
