Thought on front sprocket wear..
Im half way to Cairo with a lot of time for thinking...
Regarding my previous post regarding my front sprocket wearing away at the thickness:
Auckeboss and Fred mentioned having similar problems. Had your transmissions been rebuilt before experiencing this? The reason i ask is that it occurred to me that possibly this wear is caused by adjustment changes in the countershaft (from replacing that damn 5th gear). The clymer manual mentions shimming of this shaft (though only very briefly). Could this extra movement (in and out on the shaft), be the cause?
Im by no means an expert, this is pure conjecture!
