[MOTORHEAD]

Jac Mac: thanks for the specs. I put the detent spring back in and left the washer off, and drove it. This gave a little tension just before the bolt head seated. I almost couldn't get it into 3rd or 4th. Pushed harder and got the gears, but it felt like I was shoving rocks into the shifter, very rough !!! Put it on the hoist today, took out the bolt and spring and after much faniggiling, extracted the double ended "bullet". nothing else in there. Operation went from normal shifting effort to almost impossible to shift, then only difference was I removed the washer under the bolt head, which is pretty thick and not at all soft.
The "cut" spring measures .377" in length, and .290" dia. Wire dia. = .048", and very stiff.
"bullet" length = .456".
