A bent jiffy stand, modified suspension or uneven parking area can cause dipstick to indicate a false low oil
condition.
NOTE
Since a sidecar equipped motorcycle is fixed in an upright
position, the actual full engine oil level is about 1/2 inch (12.7
mm) above the FULL mark on the dipstick.
See Figure 7-1. The 5-speed transmission consists of two
parallel shafts supporting five gears each. The longer, or
mainshaft, also supports the clutch and serves as the input
shaft. The shorter shaft is called the countershaft.
Each gear on the mainshaft is in constant mesh with a corresponding gear on the countershaft. Each of these five pairs
of gears makes up a different speed in the transmission.
The transmission gears are divided into two types, gears that
are splined and rotate with the shaft, and freewheeling gears
that ride on bearings and spin freely on the shaft. A splined
gear always meshes with a freewheeling gear. Also, three of
the splined gears are able to slide sideways on the shaft.
These sliding gears are used to change transmission
speeds. The projections (or dogs) on the sides of the sliding
gears, engage dogs on adjacent freewheeling gears, transmitting power through the transmission.
Gear shifting is accomplished by three forks which fit into
grooves machined into the hubs of the three sliding gears.
The position of the shifter forks is controlled by a drumshaped shifter cam located on the top of the transmission.
Neutral
Power is introduced to the transmission through the clutch. In
neutral, with the clutch engaged, the mainshaft 1st and 2nd
gears are rotating, but no power is transferred to the countershaft since countershaft 1st and 2nd are freewheeling gears.
4th Gear
The shift into fourth is made when mainshaft 2nd is disengaged from mainshaft 3rd and mainshaft 1st engages mainshaft 4th, locking it to the mainshaft.
5th Gear
The shift from fourth to fifth gear occurs when mainshaft 1st
is shifted out of mainshaft 4th, and mainshaft 2nd is shifted
directly into the main drive gear. Mainshaft 2nd lock the main
drive gear to the mainshaft resulting in a direct one-to-one
drive ratio from the clutch to the sprocket.
1st Gear
When the transmission is shifted into first gear, countershaft
3rd, which rotates with the countershaft, engages countershaft 1st, which has been spinning freely on the countershaft
driven by mainshaft 1st.
Now countershaft 3rd is no longer freewheeling, but locked to
the countershaft causing the countershaft and countershaft
5th to turn. Countershaft 5th transmits the power to the main
drive gear and the sprocket.
2nd Gear
Second gear is engaged when countershaft 3rd is shifted out
of countershaft 1st and engages countershaft 2nd. This locks
countershaft 2nd to the countershaft to complete the power
flow as shown.
3rd Gear
Tw o shifter forks are used to make the shift from second to
third. One fork moves countershaft 3rd out of countershaft
2nd to its neutral position, while another fork engages mainshaft 2nd with mainshaft 3rd. This locks mainshaft 3rd to the
mainshaft to complete the power flow as shown.

ADJUSTMENT
If operating problems exist, check the shifter linkage for wear,
interference or adjustment. If adjustment is necessary, see
SHIFTER LINKAGE below. If problems persist, see the
checks under Section 1.1 TROUBLESHOOTING, TRANS-
MISSION, along with the repair procedures in this section.
Shifter Linkage
The shifter linkage is set at the factory and should not need
adjustment under normal circumstances. However, if full
engagement or full lever travel is not achieved, adjust the
linkage rod as follows:
CAUTION
To ensure proper gear engagement and avoid possible
damage to transmission, the shifter lever should not
contact the footboard when shifting. A minimum clearance of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) between shifter lever and footboard must be maintained to accommodate engine
movement when running.
1. Remove locknut, lockwasher and flat washer to free front
end of shifter rod from shifter lever. See Figure 7-2.
2. Loosen locknuts and adjust rod as necessary.
3. Install flat washer, lockwasher and locknut to fasten front
4. Tighten locknuts to 80-120

3. Remove the magnetic drain plug at the bottom right side
of the oil pan and drain the transmission lubricant into a
suitable container. Remove the fill plug/dipstick.
4. Using fingers and flat tip screwdriver, remove two elbow
connectors from neutral switch studs. Using 7/8 inch box
end wrench, remove neutral switch and O-ring from
transmission top cover. Remove preformed vent hose

CAUTION
Pulling shifter cam assembly from dowels allows left
support block to rotate freely, which can cause screws
and washers to drop into transmission case if left
loosely installed.
6. See Figure 7-3. Remove the four hex head screws (with
flat washers) to free the right and left shifter cam support
blocks. Raise shifter pawl and lift shifter cam assembly
from dowels on deck of transmission case.
7. See CLEANING AND INSPECTION, steps 2 and 3, on
the next page. If necessary, disassemble shifter cam
assembly as follows:

Always wear proper eye protection when removing retaining rings. Use the correct retaining ring pliers. Verify
that the tips of the pliers are not damaged or excessively
worn. Slippage may propel the ring with enough force to
cause eye injury.

Compressed air can pierce the skin and cause injury.
Never use your hand to check for leaks or to determine
air flow rates. Wear safety glasses to shield your eyes
from flying dirt and debris. Failure to comply could result
in death or serious injury.
1. Clean all parts with solvent (except left and right support
blocks if roller bearings installed). Blow dry with low
pressure compressed air.
2. Inspect roller bearings. Verify that bearings rotate freely
without sticking.
3. Inspect the shifter cam for cracks or wear. Inspect the
ends for grooves or pitting. Install
whenever the shifter cam is replaced.
4. Check the shifter fork shaft. Replace if bent or damaged.
5. Using a small carpenter’s square, verify that the shifter
fork shafts are square. If a fork does not rest directly on
the square, then it is bent and must be replaced. See
Figure 7-6.

6. To ensure proper location, verify that four locating dowels are in place on the deck of the transmission case.
7. Raise the shifter cam pawl and place the shifter cam
assembly over the locating dowels. See Figure 7-12.
While aligning the holes in the support blocks with the
dowels on the deck of the transmission case, slide the
shifter forks as necessary so that the fork pins engage
the channels in the shifter cam. See lower frame of Fig-
ure 7-8.

tern.
NOTE
Check the gear engagement and clearance in every gear to
make sure assembly and alignment is correct.
9. Obtain a
new
top cover gasket and align the holes with
those in the transmission case. Align the holes in the top
cover with those in the gasket. Install the five socket
head screws and tighten to 84-108
in-lbs
(9-12 Nm).
The long screw is installed in the center hole on the left
side of the top cover.
10. Install preformed vent hose to top cover fitting, if removed.

d. Install the two elbow connectors on neutral switch
studs.
NOTE
The neutral switch is not polarity sensitive, so the elbow connectors can be attached to either stud.
12. See Figure 7-4. Install clutch cable fitting into clutch
release cover. Do not tighten at this time.
NOTE
Replace cable fitting O-ring if damaged or deformed.
13. Hold clutch cable coupling with button facing outboard.
Place cable end in recess of coupling. With ball sockets
facing outboard, place hook of inner ramp on button of
coupling. Holding inner ramp and coupling together, turn
the assembly over. Place inner ramp (ball socket side
down) over balls in outer ramp sockets. Install the retaining ring so that the opening is above and to the right of
the outer ramp tang slot in the clutch release cover.
14. Verify that the two locating dowels are in place on the
transmission side door. Hang a
new
gasket on the dow-
els.
15. Holding clutch release cover in position against transmission side door, install six socket head screws. Alternately tighten screws to 120-144
