1100 double sealing gearbox input shaft?

[(RIP) Mark H]

I've done 3 and 4 on an 1150 without stripping the box. You need a sharp screwdriver and a strong wrist and you can pull them both out. Much quicker and easier than pulling the box apart.

You can also use two self tapping screws and some fastening band or steel wire or something

and a hammer or something.

But its not a 1150, its a 1100 and you have to open the box to fix the seal

Does it have 5 or 6 gears?

Here is a picture of R1100S 6 gear seals.

I'm happy to post whatever you want if it makes it any cheaper. I'm only a short jaunt from Ocean BMW and don't mind picking up the bits you need plus some loctite (did you want that?) and getting them in the post tomorrow (if they are in stock that is).

Let me know if I can help.

OK, the gearbox pic above appears to have press in seals just like mine. I didn't realise thats not the case on the 1100.

Here's the cause: broken-into-two shim on the other end of input shaft.

It had come off, dropped back against the seal and scratching it (and gearbox was leaking oil because of it).

It supposed to be inbetween the bearing and the locking shim.


Like on this picture I made opening the box in 2009 (the two half-circles are "locked" below it):

Well, now I've got the new seals but where the bleedin' hell I get this special type of outer shim to lock the inner half-circles? I can't replace it with regular shim since it'll start getting into recession of the shaft and get damaged and seize our gearbox somewhere in Morocco if we make it that far.


As you can see on the next pic, it's a combination type of shim, a special part - the inner one goes into the dedicated recession of the input shaft in two parts, the outer shim locks them from coming apart. But the outer shim is split in half now too.

Outer shim supposed to be in one piece (it's broken from two oiling-recessions - weak spots, so don't confuse it being a 2-part item as well)!


Anyone got some scrapped old gearbox, can take if off and send it inside a letter for me? Or should I find some machining workshop in the village to try make a new one and hope it doesn't blow up the complete gearbox afterwards

Margus,

Please send me a PM with your location (Nouakchott), and if possible an address, and the parts you require. I'll pursue this on Monday and get some further advice because I don't have an 1100 and I'll have them send what you need as soon as possible.

I hope you are both well and I look forward to hearing that you are able to continue your journey.
