Gear lever

Hi Does anyone think the gear change on the 961 is of a poor design, the external link seems a compromise considering the angles involved?Is this technical enough ? - only jokingMathew

I'm sure that, despite comments by magazine road testers and owners, that the design is perfect and cannot be improved upon in any way (sic.)

Hi Matthew,

Although the link does look a little strange it actually works very well and on my 961 the clutch and gear selection are very good. I think it obviously was a compromise as the selector shaft exits the case ina less than idealplace but to me I think it looks a lot better than the reversed gear lever at 45 degrees and it does give the 961 haters something to point at. :)

Best
