It was the standard 83T. I have now replaced it with an 82T. I have kept my pinion the same, which is a 22T.
Does anyone know what caused this melting and what I can do to prevent it happening again?
I had tightened the locknut on the end of the layshaft as per the manual I.e flush with the end of the layshaft.
Please help!!!

most likely its been set to loose, this makes them very hot and melts/softens the plastic, set it so it just slips for a second or two from a standing start,on high bite track
