[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 55032, member: 597"] On a similar but different note......I have one of Terry Princes 5 speeds in the racer, and I am finding it difficult to find neutral both when stationary and whilst moving. The clutch is a Bob Newby multi plate, and seems to be freeing off ok, that is that it doesn't seem to be dragging. Has anyone noticed if the dogs on the 5 speed gears have a backgrind on them.....? If I move the shift lever or select gears using the gear indicator lever (without the engine running), it shifts nicely from 1st to neutral then 2nd and back down again without any issues. I am using Morris MLR 40 castor oil in the gearbox, and the engine (Your favorite Tim...!!) Any thoughts or ideas anyone..? Or is it because it is all still new, and needs more run in time. Cheers .......Greg. [/QUOTE]
