Status: offline 		Can anyone out there suggest a good starting point for the 2nd and 3rd gear adjustment scews? I called CEN and the tech said that 2nd should be 2.5 turns out from bottom and 3rd should be 3.5. This cant be right because this causes the screws to bind on the housing. I'm hoping to revert the shift points without pulling the tranny. Thanks...

and not the adjustment screws

The set screws need to be done with the gearbox stripped down
the adjustment screws are the ones that are set at an angle not the screws facing straight out

The adjustment for second gear is 5 full turns out
Third gear is 7 to 7.5 full turns out

hope this helps

Status: offline 		Now I get it. I'm an idiot. Now that I have totally screwed up the set screws, Any suggestions for getting them back to where they need to be with out pulling the tranny and clutch?

Look into the GST 3rd gear clutch mod, might find some help there
