Camplate index plunger
Camplate index plunger for the gearbox, seats into the camplate notches to hold gear selection steady.
The 57-1471 is the camplate index plunger out of the gearbox, listed in the parts book under the older T1471 number as well. It lives in the inner cover area alongside the shafts and bearings, and its job is to seat into the notches on the camplate to hold each gear selection steady once you've made it.

This is a small spring-loaded part, but it matters more than its size suggests. If it wears or the spring behind it goes soft, you'll notice the gearbox feeling less positive between gears, or gears creeping out of engagement. It shows up across a run of catalog years in the mid-to-late 1960s, so if you're rebuilding a gearbox from that era it's worth checking the plunger and its spring while everything's apart.
Our catalog record doesn't tie this specific number to one particular model beyond the gearbox figure it appears in, so if you're matching it against a parts book from a different year, confirm the number against your own manual or give us a call before ordering.
