Need Toploader 1-2 detent and spring.
Hello,
I'm working on an issue with my toploader that it slips out of second on engine braking, decelleration, coasting. I noticed it first on a downhill twist road.
I first checked the linkage and it was fine. Then I pulled the top cover everything looks pretty good in there to me. The shift rail is not particularly worn and I don't think there is too much slop in the shift forks.
The only thing I question is the 1-2 detent pill is worn (which I can reverse it). And the detent spring, while it's plenty stiff, I wonder about it's free length. It only sticks up out of the case 1/8" when it's in gear so I wonder if that gives it enough preload.
Are these two parts available anywhere? The pill and the spring?
Thanks, Chuck Brandt
