AnswerIan, I was searching the Honda parts manual for that spring but didn't find it. I recall that spring but I'm not sure anymore what it was for. It was about 2.5 inches long and about 1/4-3/8 in diameter.
I'm thinking the spring was the neutral detent spring. It would have held the shift drum in the neutral position. There should have been a spring and a steel ball bearing in that bore if I'm right.
