Hi Kev,Many thanks for your reply,I stripped it today and found its actually perfect ? no damage or significant wear visible, I suspect im just trying to change down to fast and not allowing it to centre before going again so to speak
Will try to change technique for cadwell and see how it goes
Thanks again for your advice

Neither my 583 or 620 have ever allowed more than 2 gears at a time, and often more than 1 between clutch dips especially end of a session

Brian while you had it apart did you check it was all centred OK as there are two points of adjustment

Usually the cause, incorrect adjustment. Also tight linkage and splinted lever position.

Yes Brian the Haynes manual covers it quite well, nice pic of centreing using a ruler and the use of scribed lines to check up and down movement is equal

Well worth getting the problem sorted, it certainly improved my lap times once I got it fixed
