Hi everyone.
I have a Monster GT 4.6SE and the 2-speed shift adjustment screw is seized - allen key just clicks when you try to turn it either way.
Any ideas how to rersolve this please?

Dremel a slot into it if possible for a flat screwdriver. Or try punching a torx bit into it. Or get a set of screw extractors. If not, drill it out and replace. You can heat it with a soldering iron before trying any of these.

Plenty of options. Good luck.

Put a few drops of Kroil on the screw and let it set about 6 hours. Then try a small screw extractor

Thanks for the quick replies. I have ordered another gearbox anyway - i think i will take your advice but gonna strip the box first and isolate the gear with the adj. screw in.
