You might find the new one will have rhe threads pre coated. 8 main ladder bolts can be reused. There is on bolt in front the hides unless you have already pulled the oil pressure pump.
Awesome! I did pull the oil pressure pump already. Looks like all I need to do now is wait for the alternator pulley tool and then crack her open
 
When you open her up do it slowly as on of the shafts ( the out put shaft) will try to stay in the bottom case. A little fanaggling and you will get it to stay in the upper case. Have you already pulled the torsional damper can we see the bearings? Pictures man its bike **** even if she's been slapped around a bit.

Again a bit delayed.. I am waiting on parts to arrive currently and the motor is up on a workbench covered in about 3 pounds of plastic wrap! I should be uncovering the motor in a week or so. As requested, pictures to come! Torsional damper bearings below(picture was taken through the plastic so apologies for bad quality)

Looks like I have to go in. She is now popping out and in of second, under throttle. I am gonna baby her until I get back from Stearns. If you go real easy on second, it will stay in. Any heavy throttle and it pops out and in. I will drop sump as well.
With a broken detent spring, the bike will shift up or down without any problems; however, it will not remain in gear when you let off the throttle. The trick to riding with a broken detent spring is to keep pressure on the shifter after the shift. If it was an up shift, then maintain upward pressure at all times and it will stay in gear. Likewise, if you make a down shift, then maintain downward pressure at all times and it will stay in gear. You are emulating the function of the detent spring when you maintain pressure after the shift.
 
Looks like the circlip that holds third/forth gears in position on the output shaft came out of it's groove. See my thread Well, the day started out $hitty
Amazing! I wish I'd have seen your thread back when I started this project. What work did you end up doing to your shift forks? When Robinson sen back your shafts were they drop in ready? I am a little nervous to pull the shafts apart even with your extension trick ;) mostly as this will be a first for me

I didn't do anything to the shift forks. The shafts came back from Robinson's ready to drop in.

Gotcha, I thought I read something about you sending them to Robinson's as well. Must have been mistaken. Thanks for setting me up with your thread! Any other "hey while you're in there" jobs you can think of for me? I hope to keep this one for the long haul

See which detent roller you have. You want one like the one on the right.
