Hopefully thats my false Neutrals sorted

For the last couple of rounds at Anglesey and Oulton I have been surrering a few gear shift problems, namely when trying to change down from 6th to 3rd in a short distance, such as the run into the Shell Oils hairpin and no doubt it would also have been a issue into Park in a couple of weeks time.

If I did try changing down 3 gears in short succession I would let out the clutch and find I was in a false neutral between 2nd and 3rd gear, where the selector drum had over shifted. Going down another gear results in a locked rear wheel so if it happened it was a case of shifting back up a gear into 3rd

I did think about just trying to adjust it but decided to buy a replacement gear selector first.
Well today I stripped the Alternator casing and the flywheel off and removed the gear selector and this is what I found.
