Gearbox Gears Working out of mesh. With reference to this trouble which has been reported by Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} on several cars, we should like to remark that it is important that the clearances between the shaft and the floating bush, and the bush and the gear should not be more than the detail drawing allowance of 1 to 1½ thousandth of an inch.
