<p>Andy & Rick,</p>
<p>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.</p>

Hi Andy,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here are a couple of photos of a home made shim that fixes
the stuck in first problem. The photos aren't Paul's, but the
shim is probably very similar.</div>
