So True

Will it stay in off position without the springs and bearings in there. Don’t want gear shift moving around

My advice is to put it back on the car and do not use it fixed or not. They were out lawed in 1933 as the were proved to be dangerous. Leave it there for judging only.

Working on freewheel in my 31 auburn. Took apart to replace rear seal and noticed that the sliding gear springs and balls are missing. Does anyone have any of these available.  Thanks Dan
