Re: Leaking crankcase leads to overheat condition?

You may find, that under the grease and grime around the shifter handle, the casting is cracked, causing the slop. I am not sure what bolt you plan on shimming, but you cannot shim the center bolt, with shoulder, that pivots the bar.

As Don stated, those pieces are quite fragile for what they are. I have broken a few dismantling them, good thing I keep a few spares! The problem will be, after taking out the screws, sliding the 2 pieces off of the splined bar. Try and refrain from spreading the gap with a flat screwdriver too much, that is where I find they will split, making them scrap.
