[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 105741, member: 38"] I have fitted 2 Quaifes and one of Terry's 5 speeds. The only issue I have encountered apart from the "Check that the shim is in the right place" which probably took less time that them actually putting the shim in the right place, was the spindle sitting just below the cam plate and fouling the center shifter fork. Quaife I think made the first 5 speeds for Sportspower (John Surtees Co) and the first batch were all close ratio with a tall first gear. Dan Smith got probably the first one sold and made some new bits (as one does) to give it standard ratios. That was pre 1989 as it went into his short rod Shadow from new and it was first on the road in 1989, so they have been around for ,more that 30 years now! [/QUOTE]
