Hope someone on the forum can help me identify the following part. A few months ago I bought a used gear shift shaft for my 1967 CL-77. After a few months I finally got around to installing it. To my great disappointment found that the shaft was too long by about .194 inch. This prevents the left hand case from seating against the engine. The actual dimension between the seating surfaces on the shaft is 4.074 inches (103.48 mm). It's too bad as the shaft is in pristine condition & will need to sell it if I can identify it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Phil,

Sounds like you have an early gear shift spindle, 24610-259-020, that was used in very early Dreams. You need 24610-259-030.

Phil,

I searched for a previous post where I addressed this in the past to find a comparison photo and it's here http://www.honda305.com/forums/how-to-r ... 4610259020

When I did my search it looks like you asked the same question in November and G answered you???????????

I thought I'd seen that before.....

Tom - you answered it a lot better than me!

Now I have some pictures to use when I go in the workshop and try and assemble these old engines...... :-)

Me too. That's why I got to looking in past posts.

Thanks H.T. The link you provided shows exactly the problem I encountered. I did a search of the forum, but don't recall seeing this post. G-Man was going to do more checking, but I never followed-up with him. I took a picture of the part, but after about 1.5 hrs. of trying this & that, could not get it posted with my message today. Thanks for the part number info. Will be looking to sell this part if anyone needs it.

Phil,

You're welcome. If you are looking for a used one try finding one from a Dream or Scrambler. When I have found damaged ones they were mostly from Super Hawks.
