    Actually ran into one if these same kits earlier this week. The pin was driven down into the front orifice, with the needle bearing already installed.

    This particular gearcase had a worn clutch cradle and shifter. Fleetwin, I was wondering the same thing – why the double bearings so to speak.

    I can see how the smaller forward gear protruberances is an improvement, basically a bigger ‘window of opportunity’ when shifting.
