Hi, the gearbox on my Matchless, was the only thing I didnt rebuild, it all works OK, but the sprocket seal is no good.
Now a question for all the gearbox gurus, as I've not done one. So to service the seal the mainshaft has to be removed from the box from the sleeve gear. My question is do I have to completely strip this down or can I undo the Kickstart pawls, and just slide out the mainshaft? Or will the gears not hold their position sitting on the shift forks? or do people follow that shaft out with another shaft going in?. Another Q, I was searching CP information, and I found a new old stock kick start, stop rubber, that fits on that stop peg, it's never had one and I won't pay the ebay price, but I could turn up some nylon or something, that would give a little cush?.
