This depends on if it's a 4 or 5 speed, doesn't it? The 4's have a seperate cover that houses the return spring. upper left side. there's one hole in this housing and it's not big enough to cause your gears hassle, unless your spring broke into 50, 000 little pieces. Usually the break in 2. 5 speed theres more danger of pieces falling to the bottom of the trans.

Another thing you may want to consider by pulling the trans.is it can be thoroughly inspected.Those broken spring pieces can do some serious damage.I learned the hard way on this one! > Dave

Derek>thanks for the heads up.I have now decided to pull the swingarm and related parts to get at the back cover and replace the spring.The thought of pulling the engine/trans is best left to the mechanics.............KO

Everyone will tell you that you have to remove the tranny and that to do this it needs to come out with the engine. Not true! However, to get the tranny out without the engine probably isn't really worth the effort. It's involve rotating the engine up on the front
mount
while doing amazingly close quarter manouvering of the tranny. It
cannot
be measured in inches but rather millimetres to know how fucking tight
this
manouver is. The good news is you can remove the cover enough with everything in situ
to
replace the spring. I cannot remember if you have to pull the swingarm
back
or not, but, that part is eassssssssssssy and certainly gives you a ton more finger room.
