[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 55373, member: 597"] This is where the Surtees cluster is different to the ones Terry put out years ago, as on Terry's one the camplate requires extra rotational travel to pick up the fifth gear. That is, if you place an original camplate on top of the 5 speed one, you can see it needs about another 9/16 of an inch of extra travel. This means that before assembly, you need to give the bevel gear in the roof of the box more travel as well. It is not a big deal, but it CAN be if you don't check first before the case halves go together for the last time, or otherwise it simply will not pick up fifth gear completely, and would most certainly jump out. With regards to the previous issue I had selecting neutral on the racer, I think the detent spring was a tad too stiff, causing too much effort to change gears full stop. So I simply shrunk the spring by about 2 mm and it feels much better now. So on the next fire up, I will test it out, and hopefully it should be easier to find neutral.....Greg. [/QUOTE]
