Tore down the gear shift lever today, going to prime and paint in tomorrow. supposed to me another beautiful 70 F sunny day.

Cleaned up the Case Cover and Gear Shift Fork Assembly. lots of gunk packed down in the recess with the pins. Took a lot of convincing to get the lever out of the case. not too mention it was painted together !! does not look like PO took it apart and cleaned it up.

Case Cover 01

Case Cover Large Gunk Removed

Now my question is with the lever, spring, cap, and cup

should the spring be greased ? oiled ? or is it just a simple spring in dry operation ??

here is a picture of it when i got it apart, notice the spring is PACKED with gunk. very hard to operate. took a TON on convincing to compress it.

Lever Assembly w/ Spring

Lever Fork End Cleaned up

Spring, cup, and cap were cleaned and spring works freely now !!

All of the parts were cleaned and prepped for paint tomorrow, well the lever and case cover will. assume the rest are just bare metal ??
