       I have bought the Nuvo Falcone that has been on this forum under
       the heading of Another Tito`s cast off.On this forum, there is
       an entry on the 03 February 2015 07:49:51 pm titled Engine and
       Transmission/gearbox blues.The previous owner who signs off as
       Tony is asking "if anyone has the correct tolerances ". I have
       it from a very qualified engineer that the gearbox is shimmed at
       the factory and that each box is shimmed differently to suit.I
       also understand that it is absolutely critical that the shims
       are replaced as the factory intended.If the gearbox has been
       rebuilt and shims replaced by trial and error with no record of
       the factory location it could well be impossible to rebuild this
       gear box and would account for the reason why no Guzzi outlet
       would be willing to do this work.I would appreciate any comments
       or views as to if I am correct. Finally, would any forum member
       know of anyone who could carry out this work? Thank you.

       Hello Velocette,
       The shimming of the NF gearboxes is made very poor, it needs a
       lot of time to do it exactly and you have to open and close the
       engine case often to find the correct shimmering.
       My friend Peter explained it in the guzzitreff forum and Martin
       from Newseeland translated it to English and it must be on this
       forum. I do this job separately with only one gearshaft built in
       for two gears, first the 1 and 3 gear - here you need no gasket
       - then I take this shaft away and do the job with the main
       gearshaft - the 2 and 4 gear - here you need a gasket ( I close
       the casing with only 4 bolts and 4 gasket pieces cut from an old
       one).
       If there is only one shaft in the casing you can easily put your
       hand into the casing and prove the clearance of the shift forks,
       they must be moveable in both sides if the gear is shifted and
       there should be about 0,35 mm play between the gear wheel and
       the shifted wheel at the cogs .
