dmoore 883 #1 Posted April 18, 2011 Today I had my seat and rear fender off on my 78 C-101 8-speed & noticed something I hadn't before or could not remember from when I restored her back in 96....there is a set screw & lock nut on the trans right in front of the shifter.....is this what holds the shifter in place?

Irv 115 #2 Posted April 18, 2011 Yes, it is a dog-point screw and the point goes into a hole in the shifter ball (same hole the roll pin is in to hold the ball on the shifter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveoman1966 3,762 #4 Posted April 18, 2011 Here is the Dog-point screw. Tighten it to where the shift lever is tight in the socket, then back off the screw 1/2 turn. Next, tighten the jam nut to lock the dog-point screw in place. Attached Image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
