Floppy Shifter, Not Good

Did you not bend your right eye brow upward?

Ok this is just my opinion which doesn't count for much. Now if I were splitting the engine to work on the transmission: I'd be sending the unit to Robinson industries and have them under cut the gears; add the new billet fourth gear they make; and 500 bucks later I'd be riding and not worrying about the trans.

Back at it today.

I see you took the torsional dampner out. Can you post pictures of the bearings on each end. Trying to judge if they've been updated.

Wow ! Like so many of the early ones your inner bearing is installed backerds ! The oil seal is facing the oil supply
It's a wonder it held up this long. You still have the original style bearing in the back. The later ones are a double sealed bearing.

Now I'm fighting getting the flywheel off. Have the 32mm plug, destroyed a couple of flange bolts. Went and purchased some hardened washers and a steel spacer to try. Really want to get her opened today.

 

[DQDude]

Score, an extra washer as a spacer and impact wrench, finally released it.

So the flywheel being so hard to get off really wasn't my imagination. I just looked at the bolt and washer when bagging them.
