Noob, just getting started on a 67 CL77
I split my cases... Actually pretty easy. After I took out all the bolts that I could find, I grabbed my rubber mallet and started looking for a place to wack it... Hmmm, I decided I'd give it an easy wack on the transmission rod. That's all it took. About a minute more to work my fingers in and pull it apart.
But before I pulled it apart I noticed a broken thing. Not sure what it is but I'll try to explain where it is. The end of the rod that holds the gear shift forks (opposite the nueral indicator) there is a round disk that has 5 notches (but doesn't look like a gear) right under that disk is a plate held to the engine case with 2 screws. That plate is cracked near where it is held on by the screws on both sides. Maybe a retainer of some sort. Like a half moon. If you happen to know what I'm talking about and know the name, part number, where I can get one. Please let me know. Thanks, Joel
It holds the shift drum at a proper location so the forks move to the correct shift locations. ....................lm
WR,
Western Hills Honda gives you the abililty to download the 66 CL77 parts microfische fromt their site. Actually, they allow you to print each section. It has all the blow up diagrams you would find in a parts catalog. I would suggest you visit their site and print those sections and put them in a binder. They will be very helpful as you try to ID parts. regards, Rob
Western Hills, Ohio Cycle, Ray's Cycle and others specialize in buy up other dealers stocks of vintage parts. If you do a search on the web for vintage Honda parts a lot of names will show up.
The only rub with most Honda dealers is they are not set up for mail order and hence have a minimum shipping and handling fee. Ray's got me good on a dinky part that was about a dollar. They charged me something like $15 to ship it. So, the advise here is make a list of parts you are going to need and order them all at one time. Another tip is many of the above mentioned dealers have sites that let you punch in the actual part number and it will bring up all the other bikes that part is used on. In many cases, the part is still a stock item and you can get it from your local Honda dealer. They may have to order it, but they can get some parts for you. regards, Rob
