Guys, your help is fantastic!!!
I picked up a 'donor' engine with a knackered top end over the weekend for £80. I've pretty much striped it to take out the gear shafts, selector forks and drum.
You're right, there are 2 bolts directly underneath pistons 2 and 3 so the head has to come off to split the case... This means all the cams have to come off also unless I want to break/rivet the cam chain. This repair is going to be a mission!!
Darrsi - What can I expect to see when I look at the gear selector main spring on my bike?
Flakey describes the symptoms exactly! I'm still not sure how I will diagnose the problem with my gearbox when it is in bits. I'm hoping it will be obvious or I can figure it out with a bit of head scratching. Else I'm just going to check for wear, shavings, cracks, play, bits missing? Or probably just switch all the parts over if the donor parts look in better nick.
