Tech Question: Rebuilding Manitou Mach 5 Pro XC posi link

Jan-Cor

Devout Dirtbag
Recently I have bought a grey coloured Manitou Mach 5 Pro XC posi link fork and my son really loves it and decided he wants it in his GT Avalance.

I have completely dismanteled it and I have searched on YouTube and Google for some manuals.
All the manuals I have found show me drawings of the fork with a spring..... :?
But ours does not have springs and only elastomers..... :x

Am I looking at the wrong drawings / manuals ?
Or has this fork been overhauled by a guy without knowing and two left hands ?
(and yes, I am unknowing, I just started retro about a year ago :wink: )

I own that fork, and has elastomers. Mine is NOS but I have change the dials and the crown for a aluminium one. It works fine although it is the basic one, better than the indy C.

Thanks!
So this Manitou fork has only elastomers and no spring?
I've tried to find the right manual but in all they describe the springs in the fork.
As you can see in the picture I need new elastomers.
I am just looking where I can buy these.
 
Great! Thank you.
I was on this website (you can see the drawing on the picture) but somehow I did take the wrong one.
Thanks for your help

No worries :D you have to scroll down a long way in the manual to get to the set up you have .
I have a set of about a year later with the elastomer / spring and basic TPC set up
, they work really well too :D
