Gearbox Stuck - The last straw?
SeanFD:
I've been out today looking at my problem. It hasn't changed since I left it!
The gearbox appears to be in the neutral position judging by the neutral light switch (battery removed, but there is continuity). By rocking the selector drum, I can extinguish the light.
I have dismantled the selector mechanism, and it looks, from the right hand side, as if the selector drum is too far anti-clockwise, unless there are different versions of the drum.
The photo shows a comparison between mine and one I saw online.

Is it possible the drum has sheared???
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
In the internet photo is it definitely in neutral?
Bryanj:
Nothing is impossible, there was a semi recent post on the US forum where a 750 had a broken selector drum, but in a lot of years thats the onluy one ive seen or heard of

He had just installed it, pointing out the importance of locating the neutral detent, so I think so.
