Dominator gear lever slipping on shaft...

[dr155]

From a breakers, the shaft will probably be around the £20 mark. Someone on here may even have a spare one.

*Waves excitedly*


Will check how good/bad it is in the morning .

Buyer collects , mind !

?
gasket set or shaft ?

[Mervinh]

thats the shaft price
Gasket set comes in top and bottom end sets, genuine cost you best part of £130 if i remember correctly for both sets, pattern complete set around £55 to £75 depending on where you buy

If you just want a bodge to hold it on for now,take the bike to an engineering shop and have them drill a hole through the lever and shaft and stick a nut & bolt through it
I cant see them charging any more than a couple of pint of beer

Of course, that's why welding it on is a good idea!

I forgot that bloody shaft is fitted between the crankcases isn't it. Doh. It's been a while since I rebuilt the bottom end of one of these motors.

As you were. Weld the little sod on

Hi all, I am new on this forum. This thread is a bit outdated, but I had to solve the problem as well. Maybe someone could find my solution helpful. OK, what's the point.
Presumption: Both the gearshaft and pedal are entirely worn-out.
1st, use drilling machine to burrow two "sockets" [red dots on the picture], drill it with everything installed on the bike! It is quite easy. I recommend 4.5 to 4.8 mm drill [HQ].
2nd, lossen the bolt 6x20, which is holding the pedal on position.
3rd, you will need two bolts 5x16. Jam them in those prepared sockets.
4th, tighten the bolt 6x20.
It works fine. No welding needed.

Two very good solutions (drill & peg or grub screw) which would have been my way out. If you ever have this problem occur whilst out riding remove the gear pedal and buy some mole grips to clamp to the selecter shaft. Not pretty but it will get you home. Rode for most of a holiday like this once.

I'd advise against drilling the shaft. It works, but that shaft is expensive if it doesn't go well. I suggest two small weld points. This will prevent shifter slippage and are also easy to remove if needed.
