Thanks very much for the prompt post. Very helpful. I'll get on to it tomorrow. Can't face taking the cover off again but hopfully I can adjust it in situ.

Well thank god for this website and tha advice offered. I managed to replace the pawl spring with the help of a mate with more mechanical nouse than I. It was a little more complicated than I thought it was going to be. Although I havent started it up yet because I am going in search of some redline oil it seems to select and go into neutral ok. Any how the problem is that when I was removing the cover I convinced myself that it was necessary to remove not only the 11 allen bolts but also the two 13mm nuts on the face of the cover which appeared to be mounted on studs. of course it was not needed but the problem is one of the nuts appears to turn a pin on an eccentric adjuster on the inside of the casing. So this has now been moved from it origional position. Could anyone tell me what this does and what likely effect moving it would have ? Maybe then I can figure out how to return it to a correct position.
