scratch my message, after reading all of the other posts, me memory came hauntingly back and I remembered he had to pull the tranny (more than once at that!) to get her to shift right. The "pawls" thing was mentioned a few times during the fix. I have heard 4 speeds are a real pain in the neck, to say the least and keep the language clean, to set up. I do remember Moe at Cycle Garden telling me to be careful with the repair manual as something in one of the figures was shown either backwards or upside down! Fortunately, my old mechanic was wise enough to figure it out.

What exactly do you mean by 'Wont shift properly?' Does it shift at all? Does the clutch still work properly. Does the shift lever return to position via return spring. Were you drinking malt beverages trying to fit into Dave's shirt while you were wrenching? Usually an adjuster is used for adjusting (note smartass sarcastic comment. Sorry). Little more info needed here Kev. Rich
