Fellow Scot, you do not have to pull the primary off to replace that lever. I have replaced dozens of them in about 1 1/2. Do not let anyone tell you that you have too. If you like to pm and I will help you out. Hope this helps, MP

Then again the trap door can be removed without pulling the primary inner and outer by locking the tranny gears and loosening the countershaft and mainshaft locknuts and prying the trap door away from tranny exposing the mainshaft and countershaft at which time the counter shaft can be removed allowing remove for the shifter shaft to be removed. There could be a bit of trouble getting at the shifter shaft snap ring.

I am a master watchmaker by trade. Pretty good with fitting things together correctly all-in-all. I even repair other watchmakers watches due to my expertize in certain brands. On my bikes, I do the simple stuff myself such as fluids, exhaust etc ... . Then I pay a professional to do the things I haven't learned how to do correctly or can't do at the level he can do it at. No heat, not the right tools, need to depend on a helper? Let the pro do it and enjoy the ride when you get it back!

Sometimes it's best to leave the heavy stuff or complicated stuff to the pro's... Heat & power is also a premium in the Garage....I think the cam job i just did is the farthest i have taken it....a little intimidating but satisfying. The tranny would be a part i would take to something.

Don't like being called a Lair, you jackass. It's apparent that with your limited IQ and comprehension and skill level that you did not fully read the Scots post. talked about THE SHIFT LEVER got that. 90% is giving you way to much. This is way I the few posts because of f ' wads like you. I was posting to that fine Scot like all Scots not to you f 'wad. Now I'm 100% sure of that MR. Suckmyevo!
What is a lair anyway? And who said you were???
Read from OPS description "trannie lever replaced,the one which is situated on the trannie shaft behind the Inner Primary Case"
