Looking to address headstock later, but discovered an issue, and maybe I can gather information and parts.
One of the shift forks in headstock appears to be on splines on a tube. I think the splines are wore considerable, but don't have it apart to know. However upper ark of fork can move about a 1/4" while I hold its driving tube still.
Another shaft for a different fork passes through the tube in question. Anyway it appears splined, not keyed.
The fork in question I have circled in red:
From the parts book I have circled the fork and tube, plus you can follow line "D":
Parts list in interested:
The result of the loose splines, besides being sloppy, is that I am not fully engaging the slider to either direction. I have gone through lever adjustments already. Removing the slop in splines will allow full engagement in both directions. As it is now, these two pics show slider not fully engaged in both directions:
I was hoping to not rip the entire headstock apart. My question is, has anyone ever slipped this particular fork out without removing the gear shafts ?
If possible, I'd have to finesse the internal shaft out, plus the tube. I'm just not sure if its possible, maybe hidden set screws or retainers. . . Anyone dealt with this ?
