    How much would the cassette cost as mine is occasionally jumping out of gear into a false neutral from 3rd & 4th?

    There was a £10,000 F1 cut gear box on eBay for £1,000 a while back.....nice.....lol

    They range anywhere from 100 to 250 on eBay. There is a new face plate and drum on there now for 150 false neutrals can be caused by linkage play, worn dogs, worn selector barel, you can replace just the worn gears or chuck in a second hand cassette.

    I personally would open it up and have a look,
    had a gixer doing it on me.new 2nd, 6th and
    a selector fork an that was me back on the road.
    cost around £100 for the parts.
