There is a shift pawl adjustment procedure that migjt be needed? The are 2 nuts that hold shift pawl adjstment in place. They need to be losedned, then a drill bit of a specific size (found in factory service manual,if you dont have a manual you should not be messing with it tbh.) inserted as a gauge, but then nuts are re tightened. But the entire cover will need to be removed to do so. Yes you will loose the sport trans fl. When you remove cover. the sporters primary cover also holds the sporttrans fluid. (For both the clutch &transmission, this also lubes the primary chain & sprocket) as this is a wet clutch setup. If you losen cover it will come out, that is normal. Whenever you do work on clutch pack or stator/ rotor, transmissio. Sertain seals, etc. Cover will have to come off. You can adjust clutch cable free play & primary chain tensioner though inspection cover without removing primary cover. So no fluid loss in that situation. The indent on shifter pawl freeplay and postition rotate the mechanism...
