There is quite a lot of play (rotational) in my S2 gear selector arm, on investigation there was a fair bit of play between the pawls and the selector sliding dog. I have bought new BGM pawls, these are a better fit in the selector fork but will only go so far into the channel on the sliding dog. The channel on the sliding dog seems have a slight taper at the bottom which stops the pawl fully fitting into the channel. This seems a bit odd to me as I would have expected any wear to have increased the channel width and the new pawls would be a sloppy fit. Is this normal ?
I am thinking of putting a small taper on the bottom of the pawls or would I be better of getting different pawls (casa ?) or a new sliding dog ?. If so which one ?
Cheers
