i put my trans together 3 or 4 times now and it won't shift, i could get it into neutral but thats it. i think i'm doing it right but somethings wrong.would anyone have a print of the 4 speed, if i can see it maybe i can coorrect the problem, the bottom end is from a 1966 bonnieville [ i belive]. its in a 73 bike so my parts book shows a 5 speed. anyone have an idea as to whats wrong.

i have been reading other posts and was woundering if im indexing it wrong when i put it back together.when i took it apart the last time i noticed the operating quadrant was pointing down as far as it can go. everything seems to go together right. is the camplate suposed to be in a certain position before assembly, how about the operating quadrant, i tried to remove the camplate to inspect it but it does'nt seem to want to come out, is it just suposed to pull out or is something holding it.

Do You Have A Haynes Manual? Much Easier Than Me Typing It All Out.

IT PRETTY EASY TO DO BUT FIRST TIME CAN BE HARD HOPEFULLY YOU CAN READ THE PICTURES.

this is for a 5 speed , but you get the idea where the plunger needs to stay when installing gears.

i think this is what im doing wrong, i have a clymer manual and it did not go into detail about this. i could not see how the camplate quadrant was being held when the inner cover was pushed on.

well hears where i stand. i put it back together again and this time it seems to shift. i use the kicker but it doesn't turn engine and the rear wheel does'nt turn, but i have'nt put the clutch back yet, is this why.

yes

yes, no clutch no start

i would run it thru all gears before you put back together to make sure its right. just put in gear(s) and spin wheel to check full function
