Gear selector says, "Adios!"

<< < (3/3)

Bryanj:
So use a small split pin

Mikep328:
Just to update - got the new circlip and washer from DS last week.  Installed it and tried really hard to get it to pop free, yanking/twisting/pulling/pushing the gear lever and it SEEMS firmly attached and not likely to fail.  SO I didn't make any further effort to secure it. Whether that turns out to be smart or dumb...time will tell. ;)  As I said, if I had that shaft on the bench, I'd drill it for a split pin as others have described.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I did wonder if SS would be better - mine is a DS clip as at the time I was not familiar with clip sizes.

Mikep328:
The new (DSS) circlip is much "tighter" than the original based on the amount of pressure it took to open it with the snap ring pliers.   Of course, the original might have been weakened by removal/replacement some number of times in the bike's past in addition to the one time I did it.  I was careful to only open the new one just barely enough to enable it to slide onto the shaft/snap into place when it got to the groove.  ;)
