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.

Group thru the Hudson Valley.My LAPD shifter return spring crapped out
at the first stop.The heel-toe shifter just flops about not returning

to

center for those usual "clunky" shifts.Now all shifts are done by
rocking the shifter back to the central point and then shifting.What am
I looking at to repair this ???Does the trans have to come out ??Thanks
