HondaMan's brain is so full of useful information, he now looks like this with no helmet on.

That's why I'm writing it all into my book, so I won't have to try to remember it any more: then my helmet will fit and I can look it up if I need it.

Are we talking about part #22 in the diagram below? I thought the shift drum is held in place by the neutral switch (25).

yes the plate i am refering to is part #22 in mistics diagram....so do i need to tighten it?

?

mystic_1 · « **Reply #28 on:** April 20, 2009, 07:38:48 PM »

Well, 22 is just a stopper arm that limits the travel of the shift arm (18). Mine always had some play. It rides on a spacer (23) so it'll never be perfectly tight. Make sure the bolt (31) is tight but don't over-crank it.

Yeah, that's the classic damage for CB750 cases, usually caused by a thrown chain or debris being pulled through the chain area.

If it's not leaking and you have no aluminum filings in your oil, you should be ok.

That's all there is holding it besides the friction of an O ring. You just gotta rub up agin it, and worry it out. It pulls straight out of the case.

When you get it to budge, I think you can slip a fine flat screwdriver under it and pry it out.

mystic_1 · « **Reply #39 on:** April 21, 2009, 04:41:26 PM »

The switch has two flats on the sides. Use pliers, open them up the their wider setting so that the jaws are flat on the sides of the switch, then pull down while twisting back and forth.

Keep in mind you're basically uncorking the bottom of your motor, so be prepared for oil to come out unless you've drained it already.

Blurry!

Seriously though, looks OK to me. The reduced diameter at the end is the part that rides in the channel of the shift drum. Unless you see obvious signs of damage there you should be ok with that part.

At this point I'd put things back together except for the mission cover (shifter cover) and then work the mechanism several times by hand while rolling the rear wheel. Observe the shift arm and drub as the you shift. The shift drum should rotate from one position to the next without over-rotating or under rotating. If you see it over-rotate and then slip back to the detent position, or if it under-rotates and then slips forward to the detent position, then it's probably a worn shift arm. The hooks on the end of the arm can be worn, which can cause this problem.

In real life, the neutral shift plunger doubles as the detent for the shift drum. It is possible to pull the drum out a little if the parts on the side case are not all tight. This lets the forks misalign and the gear dogs drop out of their holes.

The case damage introduces another possibility: if the chain pushed far enough in, it could have hit and bent a shift fork. This could also cause the gears to not fully engage their dogs. The only cure there, though, is to pull the cases apart, and replace the fork(s) and possibly the cases (an expensive proposition!). Since the original pieces are gone, it would be difficult to make new fill-in plates there. I'm afraid this is a nasty situation... $:-\$

A spare engine might be the better bet? They can often be had for $100-$200, it seems.

sounds like a real fist shaker.
you could pick up a motor (or a parts bike) on craigslist cheap...

use uship.com if you need to get a motor shipped. it was 300 bucks

for me from VA. to FL.

The best way to check this out: go to www.hondaparts-direct.com . They have all the parts fisches there, and you can compare part numbers to see if they changed from one model to the next. If the last 2 digits change one or two (like "010" or "030" instead of "000"), then they will interchange, both years. If the third digit changed (like "100") or any other digits changed, they won't interfit (that's "hondaese" for interchangeable).

You will be looking for gear shift forks: ask the "F" guys here and maybe "Eldar, Master of the K8 Thunder", as they know the later models better than I do. I'm good at the ones up to about 1976, don't have manuals past that.

he is the master of the K8. I wonder where the thunder comes from, cause mine just sounds like a bike.
