V16x Neutral Bar

[wilbo666]

I looked at a V160 yesterday, and the neutral bar seems to be quite sloppy...it doesn't seem to really self center (feels symmetrical tho)...

It still engages gears (as far as I can tell from trying to turn the output shaft), but even when you are in gear there is a significant amount of side to side movement...

A quick look from underneath indicated that it looks like the lower shifter pivot was in good condition...

One thought is that the shifter isn't bolted down correctly from above, or is missing one of the washers that should be in that arrangement...

Any one else got any ideas?



Cheers

Willbo if the 4shifter bolts are not tight you will get slop , the reverse lock out plate is also part of it .
Just look to see if the shift shaft moves with the shifter , that will tell you if its box or shifter.
