Im having probs with the gears in my hk prem. I cant always engage first gear, and often the linkages jam and i have to stop the car, go underneath give the linkages a hit and they free up. i was told these 3 on the tree set ups are temporamental, but i need to get it working. will a linkage bush kit from rarespares fix the problem? any help will be appreciated

HK 3 speed boxes have no synchro ring on first gear, meaning you more or less have to be stationary to downshift from 2nd or 3rd to 1st gear. HT and HG boxes gained this synchro ring during the model changes.

Hi Guys.
The 3-speed all synchro box was an option for all HK (from day one) & this linkage problem is common on them.
Find an older mechanical to have a look. It's OK to have some slop in the linkages but not too much. Replace anything badly worn & |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

thanks guys
im not sure how to id a all synchro box or a crash box. Its got a 173 recon motor in it. I wonder if they kept the original hk 3 speed behind it or swapped it for a later 3speed? so id like to work out if its an all synchro box or not. Comi

OK the easiest way to tell if it's a crash box or an all synchro box is: The crash box has a hydraulic clutch with the slave cylinder pushing the clutch fork forward (towards front of the car) to disengage the clutch. The slave cylider is on the back of t Edited by user Wednesday, 1 February 2006 11:11:59 PM(UTC)
