It`s the same size pinion, Aly (29T) but the RVF version has stronger, square engagement dogs on one side.

Don't think I have the balls to take apart a gearbox just yet 

A roaring V4 is the summer soundtrack.

Go on! It's alot easier than you think.iDemonix wrote:Don't think I have the balls to take apart a gearbox just yet
Personally, the whole removing procedure would be more pain then rebuilding the gearbox

Would this help my NC30 get into neutral easier?

No - that neutral selection problem is almost certainly being caused either by a clutch fault or by a non standard footrest kit with the wrong leverage ratio on the gear linkage...

Slow progress as all these projects tend to be...
ETA on the first two prototypes is around another 3 weeks but they are both spoken for. If they work OK I`ll get another batch (probably 5) under way ASAP.

Rick
Just out of interest, are the 2 prototypes spoken for by people who replied to this thread or elsewhere?
