Do you mean when you are riding you can't find neutral which would bring the clutch into the mix
Or bench testing the box you can't find neutral?

I would suspect the hair spring is not equally adjusted. There is an Old Britts article on this. I followed it and set the spring to 5 thou above and below the pawl and all was solved. All gears (including neutral) were then easy-peasy.

PS PM me if you want the Old Britts document

If that were the case then it would be unlikely to "go into all gears" as it's only neutral that cannot be selected.

Again, more information would be use useful.

This was the problem with the bike not running.Everything assembled but no neutral.We have the inner cover off and cannot see anything wrong but when put back together with the inner cover on,all positions work but cannot find neutral using the quadrant levered by hand.Primary and rear chain all in place. I really think that I am missing something but don’t know what.Trans rebuilt by a very reputable shop.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I think this is due to ignorance on my part.
Thanks,
Mike

Ok, it’s a long shot, but…

You‘re not accidentally looking in the wrong place are you (ie between 3rd and 4th instead of 1st and 2nd)?

With the inner cover off then it should be possible to see if the camplate 'N' neutral notch position...

... aligns with the detent plunger when the quadrant is set as shown below?
Edit: Better picture

Baz,
This is when the bike is assembled,not running.
