Hi Tracey

And check (ie measure) the detent ball springs, and make sure the detent
balls aren't worn. Check the selector forks too.
And you'll need shim steel, or correctly sized laygear thrusts to get the
laygear (cluster) end thrust right.
And usually (ok - almost always) you need a new laygear (cluster) shaft -
the shaft wears through the case hardening where the bearings run - bit like
a rocker shaft.
And replace the phosphor bronze bushes - one in the end of the crankshaft
which the first motion shaft engages into, and one which the clutch fork
pivots on (soak em in engine oil for the weekend before you install them.)

Best regards

Chris
