Hello

I have two vertical gearboxes identified as A and B below. I have a rigid frame ES2 I would like to insert one of these gearboxes into. I am reaching out to the global Norton community for help and a question.

Which gearbox would be best suited for road applications? A or B ?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Gearbox A Shaft 1st Gear 2nd Gear 3rd Gear 4th Gear Layshaft N8031 N8045 N8041 N8037 N8035 Gear Teeth 29 24 20 18 Shaft 1st Gear 2nd Gear 3rd Gear 4th Gear Mainshaft N8030 N8044 N8040 N8036 N8034 Gear Teeth 13 18 22 24

Gearbox B Shaft 1st Gear 2nd Gear 3rd Gear 4th Gear Layshaft N8031 N8045 N8039 N8037 N8035 Gear Teeth 29 22 24 18 Shaft 1st Gear 2nd Gear 3rd Gear 4th Gear Mainshaft N8030 N8044 N8040 N8036 N8034 Gear Teeth 13 18 22 24

Gearbox B 2nd and 3rd are suspect. I thought theclue was42. Add thepair together, alwayscomesto 42.

Jonathan,

Thanks for the clue of 42. Great information and thanks for posting. I appreciate it.

Your two gearboxes should be the same.

Your layshaft 3rd gear N8039 is from a close ratio cluster

and will not mesh up correctly to N8040

Gearbox A has all the correct gears for a standard gearbox wich

should serve you well on the road.

If you want I can swap your N8039 for the correct N8040 and then

you will have two gearboxes for the road.
