will i be able to solve these problems by cleaning it

what does the stm48 tooth basket cost and for what benefit

The only time I used to get false neutral issues was changing up between 5th and 6th and I fixed this by adjusting the gear lever to be one notch lower so I could shift it cleaner .

Is the slipping between 5th and 6th on the up shift?? If that's the case are you sure it's slipping? I would have thought slipping would occur mainly under load, so more likely on a downshift like mine will often do. I think it acts a bit like a slipper clutch at the mo

If you've put an open clutch cover on, I would imagine you'd need to be more wary of foreign bodies getting into the clutch mechanism??
