Hi

As reference, were based in PE

My son has a 2009 990 adventure, gearbox stuck in 5th gear, no changing up or down

Bike has been at a workshop for many months, ja ja ja
It had to go there as it has a mechanical warrantee, then the mech/owner went for an operation, then recovery blah blah

Mech Recently started work again, stripped clutch to see whats up,

Clutch basket apparently good but bike needs a gearbox,

Received a call, come fetch the bike[emoji19] he will not be able to complete the job before shutdown etc

Does engine needs to be split?

What to look out for, what tricks is there

Anyone have an electronic version of workshop manual

Possibility of a 2nd hand gearbox available in Knysna

Where else can we search

What tricks is there that will help

My fingers might be old but not round, my son is a diesel  tech, as is his friend, spanners and willingness sorted

Please help

Regards

Koot
