[Spridgets] Paul 'A's real seal kit

[Jeff Kelly]

Andy & Rick,

Pauls shim was very elaborate.  I have simply slipped a washer over the 
rod between the shifter fork and the rear of the gear case.   my 
"washer/spacer" is a 1/8" thick washer with the OD ground down till it 
is only about 1/4" larger in diameter than the hole. Pauls if more 
secure I guess.
