Norton 961 Transmission Removal Guide
Download the complete PDF version using the green download button at the top right of this page for an illustrated Norton 961 transmission removal guide. This technical reference shows how to access and remove the transmission cluster after the primary side cover and clutch basket have already been taken off, allowing the gearbox bearings and bushings to be inspected.
The guide begins with the exposed primary-side view of the 961 engine, then covers removal of the detent wheel, shift mechanism assembly and the five cap screws securing the transmission cluster. Clear workshop photographs show the complete transmission assembly being withdrawn from the crankcase and the open gearbox cavity after removal.
The final section explains how to set the gear selector mechanism, placing the transmission in second gear, loosening the selector bolts, finding the movement limits and positioning the mechanism midway before tightening. This is a useful visual reference for Norton 961 owners working on transmission inspection or gearbox removal.
