I got the clusters out this arvo. The pictures tell the story. The circlip between the 1st driven gear and the cog that drives it had a circlip twisted into a mess that was stopping the driving gear engaging it at all.
The result will be a new shaft, driven gear and a few other bitsand pieces to make a new cluster up.
After hammering the driven cog off the shaft.
This is going to cost a few $bob.
The violent twisting action has actually pushed the locating button located in the rebate down through the casting of the case, without exiting the case at all happily otherwise I'd be looking for new crankcases, still looking for a save in there somewhere. Gotta find a way to get the button back up to locate the driveshaft bearing.
Tells you something about the stresses we have in these engines okay.
