Have to agree with soullad,
Check it when you've put your end plate back on and before you put the clutch/primary drive in.
It does matter to get this correctly postioned otherwise you'll be fannying around at the handlebar end wonder wtf's up with it.............
Having been sprinting for many years and undertaking many/read - 'very many' gearbox strip downs you'd think that I'd have got the hang of it by now.
So if its of any help/consolation - about 4/5 years ago I was upgrading just about every moving part to do with gear selection in my sprinter, to remove any sloppiness.
I put a non innocenti gear selector - the part with the pawls on it, (not a selector cursor/sliding dog) in, brand new...................
I must have stripped the gearbox 20/25 times, I'm not exaggerating btw, because I either couldn't get fourth or couldn't get first and could not get the bell crank lever to sit in its rightful position in neutral.
I ended up putting my 'old', Innocenti selector arm' back in.
When I finally got around to checking this in another engine down at Chiselspeed's it was found to be impossible to build - it looks like the splines had been wrongly machined in the arm, so it was never going to build was it.
This may not be your problem - in your case it maybe that you've just got to move the arm on the splines to get it OK.
A bit extreme perhaps, but if its happened to me well ................it could happen to anyone.........
