Hi Ted,
Thanks for the suggestion. I gave that a try this morning before work
but it had no effect :<. Just to make sure I wasn't completely crazy, I
also checked to be sure that clutch arm attached to the back of the
transmission was not hitting anything when I disengaged the clutch. So,
I'm back to thinking I need to pull the transmission and replace the
gear selector forks.

Hi Greg I have a 70 ambo and have had same problem as you are! Twice it happened just like your 4 speed. The first time years ago I put a new clutch in and it was like a new tranny in the bike. Shifted like new!! Second time it happened was last year after I broke a Clutch cable. I had the cable ajustment set up too loose amd not enough disengagment. Being a old Dirtbiker we have a bad habit of setting up the clutch ajustment with not enough disengament for speed shifting and Guzzi clutches with that middle plate need as much disengament as it can get. After setting up the cable for full disengament the problem went away. Cheap fix if you have`t tryed it Cheers TED 750 AMBO From: Greg Bender <gr-@thisoldtractor.com> Reply-To: Loopfram-@topica.com To: Loopfram-@topica.com Subject: RE: Failure for the shift lever to return...

It's just like there is something inside that is binding things up and not permitting the shift lever to return to a 'static' position (in both up and down movements). When it happens, I have to use my toe to get the shifter back into the 'static' position. Then, it may or may not shift properly from there. I think I have fewer problems when I use a very light movement on the shift pedal (almost a springing motion). But, then again, I may just be getting suppositious! Again, this problem is more pronounced when moving between 2nd and 3rd gears, especially on the downshift. John Ulrich wrote:
