Shift fork review...
I bought a 915 trans off of ebay where supposedly the shop had tried to fix a whir 3 times and replacing nearly all the parts before giving up. I figured at worst it would be a good parts transmission. Anyway, it is a transmission full of new looking parts and I think I might have found the whir. Below is a picture of the shift fork. The arrows show where the nuts are barely tightened and the lockwashers are not even compressed. This allowed the shift fork to move enough to contact the gear. The oval shows an area (on the opposite side fork, the outside not the inside, imagine turning it around and looking at the other side) that is worn down about 2mm and shiny for about 1cm. My question is, "Is the outside of the shift fork used during shifting at all or it is just the inside surface?" I need to know whether I should buy a new one for $91, hardweld it, or just don't worry about it....
Thanks, Chris

Not a problem. The "dongle" rides between the forks.
