(Oh no. Not another) Gear selector mech question.

Hi all.

I replaced my original inner case with a cut out one for the extended release arm.  Didn't realise that these are not fit and forget until I found a lack of fifth and a failure of the gear lever to return properly.  I've gone through the setup procedures so hopefully I should be back in business.
My question is regarding the selector drum pins.  Three of them are a loose fit and drop out easily, the others are tight in the drum.  Which is correct or does it make no difference?
My musings are that the loose pins will ease the wear on the selector arm hooks by being able to turn as the hooks engage them.  Or, will this looseness add slop to the mechanism?
Thoughts people?

Cheers.
 
Hi,
never had a problem derived from the "rolling" pins.
Did you see  http://www.laverdamania.net/fichetech15gb.htm  ?
Sometime loosening the screws and a light tap on
the cover to shift it in another position helps.

Actual fit of the pins makes no difference, the large covering washer prevents them from falling out.

Once you get the cover lined up and all gears can be selected, you may find the shift lever needs a slight nudge in one direction to have the pawl engage the next selector pin.  In this case, remove a smidge of metal from the tip of the offending pawl, lots easier than fiddling with the eccentric adjuster for hours... and still not getting it right!
