U2Q7 ATR gearbox into 4th gen - what to do regarding VSS?

I don't understand the hassle here, I slid the gear itself and the spline/bar/whatever you want to call it out and put it into the other VSS.
It's literally a 5 minute job, there is a simple circlip/screw/split pin or similar that holds it in, I afraid I just can't remember what as it's so long ago.

I KNOW it's simple though, so a good look at the VSS should really find it.

Just trying to find some images on the net, it's not this little push clip half way up is it?:

Although I accept that you're talking about two different types of VSS, whereas mine were very similar.
The gear 'shaft' may well be a different size on yours, but for the sake of pulling out a clip it's got to be worth a look?

Parts diagram suggests what bennyboy says, is correct;

Number 12 is described as "Clip, speedometer gear"
(image there is of U2Q7, not checked a lude box)

Aha, nice one wurly, was looking for something like that but didn't have time to look 'properly'

So yeah, remove 12, slide out 7.

I split mine by removing the two 10mm bolts (part 16) and mating the top and bottom half in its entirety.. Always more than one way to skin a cat........

I didn't wanna start taking them apart without knowing what I was doing, this has cleared it all up I think. I'll have a go at the weekend, cheers lads
