The service manuals are wrong. Discovered this in the 1970s. The quadrant lever needs to be one tooth higher?/lower? than the manual shows. (It's been a few years since I did one) when fitting the casing otherwise the Cam Plate will not engage the gears correctly.

Very useful, thanks. A forum mate of mine from the US has told me to index my gearbox in 3rd as its supposed to be much easier like you say.

Hi; this clip popped up again; so what about the N switch? Do you have continuity on the switch in neutral notch? Or have the N light on? Sometimes shift all gears but the N protrusion there is not doing "earth"

Never done it before but will follow your lead

Thank you

Hello; at about minute 3:00 is what I think your indexing problem is: You should place it in first gear the camplate then put the inner cover. BUT if you have a 79 with the neutral switch, you just let the camplate in N and put the switch pointer in place and just that. Regarding missing gear changes; well; if the parts are not worn out possibly you misplaced the round parts of the forks that are into the camplate grooves

I also followed the instructions to the letter from the manual and still was/am having great difficulty selecting all the gears easily and reliably. Haven’t got the bike on the road yet this year but if I’m still not able to select said gears correctly I’m going to try your different method. So many thanks for taking the trouble to make, explain and upload a video of your method 👍👍👍

This video was extremely helpful thankyou, replaced the switch and my christmas tree of dash lights is gone and brake lights now work again

Looks a lot like how I picture mine when I rebuild it. Ive got an early wideline frame, a T140 engine, and the same design of tank. It was originaly built in the 80s and things like the seat design and battery tray in front of the oil tank date it. I plan on ditching the battery to free up space for the carbs. A nice cleaner more classic seat like yours. Electronic ignition with simplified wiring. Upgrade the original and useless SLS drum set up to a modest Norton 2LS. The engine and gearbox are still geeat but will likely pull it apart during the restoration/rebuild.

very cool

The same.car I bought has from auction has a problem. The pedal goes up and down but car doesn't move. It's still parked in Welshpool. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

What is the name of this item?

Looks and sounds great....I have a T140E which is always reluctant to cold start once its warm its so easy but cold its a bitch..

Thank you buddy - from the UK, May 2021!

Running lean? Does it start in 1 kick with the choke ?

I think is same my issue.. tomorrow i will fixed

I’m doing mine on my prado tomorrow. I haven’t removed the old one yet i’m trying to figure out the best way because the top seams pretty hard to get to. Do you need a spanner on the top or can you twist the unit from the bottom?

But this worked

Same problem with my prado won't come out of park without shift lock

Thank you soon much 💗

I mean the brown housing

Having the same issue with mine orderd the part today is it easy to install push in housing and turn

Sounds British.

looks and sounds amazing!, what frame is it based on ?

typical bear to start, lol. love the cocktail shaker exhaust, don't see them used much any more.

Sounds very sweet, thanks for sharing.

very sweet nice bike and sound
