  1. I am trying to clean out and put back together a Sachs Pentasport 5 gear
    system

    It consists of three parts, a lever and hub gear mech and then the
    enclosed black plastic changer that is attached to the end the rear
    axle. (The wire from the lever goes inside this part). It is the part I
    am having trouble with as a few pieces fell out when I opened it and I
    can not work out where they are supposed to go. Searching the net for a
    blueprint I only found the gear mech.

    So does anyone know of a blue print for this?

    Try this:

    You probably want page 42 in this PDF.

    There are other years and models here:

    Here's how it works for me, with the "mini clickbox" version:

    Pur the rod into the axle end. if it has threads on it, turn it
    clockwise while holding it all the way in until it slips in all the
    way-- there should be something like 1/2" sticking out when you are not
    pushing on it.

    Slip the metal tube into the axle end over the outside of the rod.
    Rotate it until the notch at the end faces upwards.

    Slip on the little red plastic doohickey, pointy side first, and push
    it on until it snaps into place on the groove in the axle end. There's
    a little tooth on the inside of this thing that needs to slide down the
    notch in the metal tube to orient it.

    Make sure your shifter is returned to the 1st gear position. Slip the
    clickbox over the axle end, with the pointy part of the red plastic
    doohickey visible through the slot in the clickbox. Carefully snug
    down the thumbscrew , taking care so that it finds the groove in the
    axle end. The clickbox will not be pushed all the way to a hard stop
    when this happens. The thumbscrew does not need to be very tight at
    all, only snug enough that it won't loosen by itself.

    Check gear adjustment indicator. Ride.
