Thanks Greg, now that I have the tranny components back in the case I
can
see that having the tab bend up makes sense. OK...so I have sorted out
where
1st, neutral, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th are as I rotate the drum. When the
drum is
in neutral the tab does not make contact. No way to adjust the
drum...right?
I need to bend the tab? This may sound like a stupid question but how
can I
determine the exact neutral position? It is not as clear as engaging
in a
gear.

So much fun all of this :-)

Thanks...Ian

The nub sticks out from the shift drum. With the tab up, only the tip
of the tab is in close proximity to the nub, rather than a long length
of flat brass, as when the tab is pointing down. It's much easier to
control contact between the small tip of the tab and the knob than to
control that long length of brass so near the shift drum. Adjust the
tab so its tip can contact the nub but not the base circle of the
drum.

Put in neutral. Adjust tab so there's continuity between the tab's
stud and the tranny case. Then try first. Make sure there's no
continuity. Bend tab as necessary to get continuity only in neutral.
Then you can trust the light.
