couple of days ago i finished installing my 460 stroker and i get ready to start it , i go to put it in neutral and realize i over looked a critical component, the shift return spring. Of course i was sick, a complete gasket kit is 60 to 80 bucks not to mention the trouble of tearing down the whole engine all the way to the crank splitting the cases. GOOD NEWS if you take the clutch side case cover off you can take a welding rod put a hook in the end of it fish it through a small triangular hole in the crank case and work the spring back on the gear shift spindle .By the way the honda manual says to completely tear the motor down to splitting the cases. I hope my mistake can help some one because this forum has bailed me out several times.
