Selector keys

[CWilson]

I recently purchased a Clymer manual for Sachs engines off of Ebay.  Much to my surprise a selector key was taped inside!  Are all Sachs selector keys the same dimensionally?  If not, is there a way that I can determine if the key is correct for my D-engined Penton?  I did try to search the POG Forums in an attempt to answer my own questions but failed.  Thanks.

There are two sizes of the keys for the Sachs selector rods.  The early 5 speed used a 8mm thread hole size and the later 5 speed/6speed used a 10mm thread size.  If you decide to install it, be sure to install a new selector rod and detent cups with it.  Also, install with bevel side towards shifter boss and red locktite it.,  Congrats on the find, NOS keys are still at a premium$$$$$

Thanks for the information Kip.  According to my measurements the selector key is indeed the correct one for my Sachs D engine.

Last night I came upon my stash of NOS selector keys and checked the hole sizes on each.  The small key is more like a 7mm and the large key is more like a 9mm, sorry for the incorrect info. The NOS keys are like "jewels" as the repops are soft and haven't been lasting.  Karl is in the process of correcting the "key" concern.
