Many thanks, Chris, for outlining what it does.
I suspected as much and have tried to see if it freewheels in first gear - it doesn't, so it's either Kapput or ..........?
So, can anyone enlighten me as to what happens when the freewheel unit goes wrong? Will I see swarf etc when I drain the oil?
Can they be disabled, or if it is out-of-action, does it mean that its broken?
