Did a bit more work today on the transmission. On the one I’m rebuilding the interlock plate on the underside of the top piece was badly worn. This I believe was all as a result of the loose fulcrum pin. Anyway I looked over my spare transmission and the plate although a bit rusty was in very good condition. I took it all apart today pressing out the shifter fork shafts. I sandblasted the case only to discover a crack in the cast housing. I’m not sure, but I may have done that while pressing out the shafts on the press. I’ve since sheared off the 4 rivets holding the plate in place. And will be using the good plate on my good upper housing. This part was replaceable per the manual. However I’ve been unable to locate a NOS one. So I’ll be using the good one.
