Just getting my 71 back on the road,
I agree - needs care to set the gap above and below the spring contact with the pawl. I used a feeler gauge, five thou from memory, worked a treat after that!Probably the spring that centers the shifting pawl inside the outer cover is not bent correctly to hold the pawl in the center.

Just getting my 71 back on the road, less than 50 miles. Getting false neutrals. Occasionally from 2 to 3 and about half the time on 3 to 4. Also, 1st hard to initially find.
Took it completely apart.
Quadrant could be one tooth out on the camplate?
A badly adjusted ratchet spring, in my opinion, would be more likely to result in 'missed' changes rather than false neutrals.
Cannot find this on a UK website at all, can you post this information here please.I use never seeze on the gasket and it just falls off when I need to remove the cover. Saves lots of time
Not quite sure what you're asking but NEVER-SEEZ is a very common product designed for threads. An unintended use is a thin smear on gaskets to make their removal easy. If the gasket surface is in good condition then the gasket itself will do all the sealing, no need for a sealer. No more chipping off small bits of gasket especially around studs. It works very well on the two transmission gaskets, timing cover, oil manifold gasket, primary to motor gasket etc.Cannot find this on a UK website at all, can you post this information here please.
