andrea, when i rebuilt the trans in the bn6, i did not know about that buffer
and did not replace it. about a month later it cracked in half (it was some
kind of plastic) allowing the high gear rod to move forward enough to allow
balls and springs to fly all over inside. needless to say, had to pull trans
and try to figure out problem. i replaced the plastic piece with leather or
rubber (cannot remember exactly) and it has worked fine ever since. make sure
to measure thickness and replace with a material that will not compress too
much allowing shift rod to move too far forward. hjim
