Sorry I took so long to get back to this but I needed a clear head and time to come to grips with telling on myself , several times . Knowing the attention span of some here ...
So where is the locating tit ?
So much for show , now for tell .
Got the trans out after rebuilding my IR231 so it had enough balls to get the comp nut off . Took it apart and the local indie loaned me the tool to align the forks . Went back and got the tool for the ratchet instead of the turret (never looked in the box until I got home ) . Wasn't able to remove the spedo cable from the drive so I just took the drive out and proceeded to dump oil everywhere when I moved it to the bench . (maybe I should have drained it ? ) . I aligned with the tool , replaced hats and gaskets and re-installed . It shifted fine on the bench and failed the first time it left the driveway .
So got the trans out a second time (after taking out my mad on 1/2 acre of jungle) and went to get the tool again as my local indie asks " Are you sure you don't want me to take a look "? once again I apply the tool and something isn't right . The hats are not pointing at the same angle . Remove counter sprocket and piece of thumb (take the sprocket off while the chain is still attached in the bike next time ) . Slide the fork pin out and remove the fork you see in the first pic (spared you a view of my ugly mug or the thumb damage) . All three stealerships in the area would have to order (actually one said it was obsolete and unavailable) . I called the indie up the street (who by this time is considering charging me rent just for being in his shop let alone the tool rental) and no part . I tried Sharron and her guy up the street promised 3 days . Then a brain fart , a trip across town to the old neighbourhood and $30 later I have two Andrews shift forks . I got the the forks assembled backwards the first time (predictable by now) Got it all assembled correctly eventually and reinstalled . On the way to installation I got the ratchet shift arm bushing on the wrong side of the arm and the primary had to come off , again , to sort that .
So there we are . A multiple transectomy due to an impromptu shift fork mastectomy (and as of yet to be determined varying amounts of personal asininity) . Its still yesterday but the trans is in and I don't have any parts left over . I do have to remember to put the lube back in the trans (we'll see how that goes) .
Just thought I'd tell ...
