Hey all-
I'm trying to fix my hard to shift '66 T20. It gets neutral instead of 2nd and 3rd most of the time. Took the motor apart, and the shift drum where the dogs engage looks worn. Also, the teeth on 2nd gear on the countershaft look pointy and worn. I took apart a newer motor from a TC250 for it's parts, and the shift drum is different! The old one has 7 small slots and one large, the newer has 6 small slots. Are these interchangable? Is 2nd gear supposed to look different from the rest?
Thanks! |

It should do, it's a positive stop neutral!!
You can weld the drum up to stop it hitting the positive neutral, is this what's been done to one of them? |

See the picture on my racing page - gearbox section - for advice on the shift drum. As Spen says, there was a positive stop mechanism - ie you could ONLY change down into neutral from second gear, not straight into first. Suzuki made drums without this system on some (all?) of the TC250 models. |
