Re: L series gearbox problems
It could be excessive endfloat in the gears, or it could be a bent selector fork. Or a sheared off roll pin on that gearset.
Micheal Van something is a gearbox guy down your way. If you get stuck hit him up.

Re: L series gearbox problems
Easy fix then.
Providing whatever caused the selector fork to break isn't still an issue.
I know of two of two 71b boxes (in bits) that got dumped just recently. (I was too slow to save them)
