Hi Panky, the requirement for the sun gear retainer is only on some of the early BE1 gearboxes. While documented in the Haynes, I’ve never actually needed to retain the sun gear on a Mk2, BE1 or BE3 gearboxes. Mk1 might be a different story, but I’ve never done much mechnicing on them.
Hope that helps

Without the drive shafts fitted was there a tube in place to keep the gearbox internals in place? I’ve just done the gaiters on the short side on DKK and the manual said to use a suitable tube to keep the planet gears where they should be – or is that just on an auto?
