No idea regarding the gearbox.

Mine refuses to start unless I pull in the clutch.  Check the clutch switch.  I have replaced the clutch switch and the sidestand switch with no effect.   Mustang tells me it is not the neutral switch as the neutral light is working.  I just live with it.   Only problem is starting when cold.  Holding the clutch lever, pulling the choke lever and hitting the starter button takes some work.

you can let go of the clutch lever once you start cranking with starter button and it will stay cranking  the engine even with the clutch lever let out  :icon_wink:
