Re: shifting troubles revisited

Did the Clutch dragging get sorted?

It is important that the shifter forks are correctly ajusted on the shafts.

This needs the top of the gearbox removing, & the use of a special tool.

If you have a `Flat top` four speed, make sure that the bushing on the banana shaped lever on the trans top is not worn out. It is easy to tell. Look at the shifting mechanism on the top side of the gearbox while moving the gear shift lever up & down. If it all moves smoothly its good. If it wobbles around................It isn`t.

The only way to make the clutch lighter the way it is, is to loosen the ajuster nuts EQUALLY on the pressure plate as much as you can without slipping.

There are some levers available that are angled for better leverage, & give a lighter pull.

Good luck.
