SHS Selector Plate — Version 3 Gearbox

Version 3 is a family rather than a single shell, and the selector plate is one of the parts where that shows up. This is the SHS plate for it.

The plate sits under the selector and tells the gearbox which mode it ought to be in. Every change of position drags it across the parts around it, so it wears, and a worn one gives you a selector that feels vague or a mode that refuses to hold.

Manufacturers cut their Version 3 shells a little differently from one another. Hold the new part up against the old one and satisfy yourself the profile matches before the shell goes back together, because something close but not exact will bind.

Good to know before you buy

Selector faults are rarely down to one part. The plate, the cut-off lever and the detent all act on the same movement, so look at all three while the shell is open rather than changing one and hoping.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know it is the plate and not something else?
A plate at the end of its life usually gives you a selector that will not sit firmly in a position, or a gun that stays on safe. A worn detent produces something similar, so check both.

Will it fit any Version 3 gearbox?
It suits gearboxes built to the Version 3 pattern, but shells differ between manufacturers. Compare it against the plate you removed before reassembly.

Is this the same as the Version 2 plate?
No. The two versions are not interchangeable and we list them as separate parts.
