mike h Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Please can any one give advice on setting up the gear selector, that is located in the clutch side on the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagecota Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 How far down have you taken it apart? Did you remove the large spring from between the two discs? Or are you looking for the final adjustment with the cam bolt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike h Posted February 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Hi vintagcota, yes I took the large spring out between the 2 plates so will need to know both adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagecota Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 It's a little hard to describe without pictures, but here goes: Make sure the shifter's detent plunger (spring and ball) is installed in the rear of the case, near the chain area. The small gear on the end of the shift drum should have the dot pointing down, with the trans in neutral. Important. The shifter body, the round part with the stub shaft on the back and the milled groove where the toothed detents and spring live, needs to be put into the hole in the case and oriented so that the slot goes from top left to bottom right with the slot offset toward the top right. Does that make sense to you? Next part to deal with is the stop plate (flat dimpled metal piece looks like a big flatwasher with a handle that has a hole in the end of the handle and two bites out of the inner circumference of the washer) If you hold the handle straight up, you want the higher bite to the left. Put the stop plate over the shifter body and turn the handle 45deg. right to go over the stud there. Install the cam nut in the middle position and lock nut. Next is the sector plate. That's the other flat dimpled metal piece with the sector gear and reliefs for the toothed detents. The proper orientation is (with the sector gear pointing up) for the reliefs on the left to be higher. Now place the sector plate on the shifter body, over the stop plate so that the hash mark on the third tooth from the right lines up with the dot on the small gear on the shift drum. Turn the shifter body slightly so the groove lines up with the top left relief in the sector plate. Install the toothed detents and spring. Let me know when you get this far and I'll guide you the rest of the way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike h Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 (edited) Hi again and thanks for responding with your advice. You ask if it makes sence, yes nearly, understand left to right with the slot but not sure what you mean by the slot offset. Is this the hole for the pin? The rest does make sence. I have not taken the side cover off again as yet, I did put the engine etc back together after putting new main bearings in but did not know what to aline with what when I re-assembled it. So gear change is rubbish, but does work (just). Please could you tell me the rest of the information so that when I do take it apart I can do the job in one go. Thanks Mike Edited February 26, 2005 by Mike H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagecota Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 If you look closely at the slot in the face of the shifter body, you'll notice it's not down the middle, it's offset slightly. If you've got return spring action, chances are you've got the spring and discs assembled correctly. That's it! vintageCota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike h Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Now understand what you mean and will now have a go tomorrow (Sunday) will let you know how I get on. Thanks again for your help, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
