Advice needed to repair gearbox on a blade
Morning all. The sun is shining and my car is still up on blocks with the engine out 
I had an issue with 6th gear in that anytime I applied power in 6th the car would 'jump'
The clever people on here thought I had damaged the cogs of 6th so I have started along the route of changing the cogs.
The engine is now sat on my garage floor and I was going to take the whole thing to a local motorbike repairer to get it done but wondered if I could
do more work to keep the cost down.
Are there any links to blade manuals that will show me how to remove the cogs and replace them? I am thinking of replcing the clutch while I've
got the engine out as well so any guidance on that would be appreciated.
All help and tips greatly appreciated.

Its not to hard, basically turn the lump upside down and remove the sump an what not. Obviously all the side covers need to come off, then its just a
matter of removing all the bolts and separating the crank cases and lift the gear set out.
Simple version obviously but you can do it without stripping the the top end down.
Check to see if the gearbox is a cassette type that can be removed from the sprocket side first...

No advice sorry other than you should check the selector forks as well as the cogs.
Hopefully you will find the manual you need here in this linky dink

How about looking for another engine, depends on what price you put on missing out on the good driving weather.
It would be the quickest way back on the road, and may be not much more £ than the replacement parts.

Thanks for the replies guys. May come back with more questions if that's ok??
On the subject of replacement engine, I'm guessing a blade would just slot in but would it be as simple to put something else in.... like an R1?

You'd have to change all the wiring over if going for the R1 - ECU, coils etc. New manifold would add to the cost, as would engine mounts etc.
Simpler to drop a bare fireblade engine in really - you could then repair your current one at your leisure if its cost effective enough.

I repaired my gearbox following Haynes manual, and microfiche from ronayers.com for part references. I'm a novice when it comes to taking
engines apart (I mean putting them back together again, taking apart's easy!) but I found it detailed enough.
