Kevin,The trans. that was orignally mentioned was a 5 speed.In my case,a (5
speed)I would have considered myself lucky if the spring piece or pieces
had stayed in the bottom of the case and didn't circulate in the oil. >

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!

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.
