On the roadsters & 510's... two bolts, drop the slave cylinder,
slip the rubber shift fork boot back... and you have a pretty

disassemble it, make up a holding jig... THEN machine an inspection
window into the bell housing. Hmmmmm.
Alas, my '68 2000 is enroute to South Carolina by now. Doesn't
seem possible, but off he went.
