If it is the 4-speed with a very low first gear, it is probably the 465. It is impossible to shift that thing quickly, I know because I have one, but they are supposed to be very tough. There is a kit that the dealer can sell that is supposed to take out the excess slop, but I do not know what is included or if it even works that well. Good luck,
John

mine wont go into gear sometime because one of the forks in the casing is loose (the one where the linkage hooks up to) usually if i double clutch it, it will go in fine.
