Yes, very rough casting so the bearings would stick on the ridges. Result: very hard gear changing. I replaced it with a more expensive Italian one which was visibly better cast. Problem solved.

An hour or 2 with a needle file would probably improve the change action but having fettled other Indian gearbox parts in the past to get them to fit, I would agree that it's probably better to buy better quality in the first place ;)
