So having the gasket on order, I decided to open up the transmission cover. Mine is a #3 cross head not Allen head. Tight as can be. Dang. Now I’m thinking the worst. Splitting cases and sourcing transmissions/parts.

Having occasionally had similar situation arise, I was advised to push it over a cliff and declare it stolen.

That would be JIS crosshead? I use impact screwdrivers if they are tight.

I’m assuming you mean Ohillips head rather than cross head Ross?
Your entire motorcycle is fastened together with JIS head screwdriver heads. I strongly suggest getting all 3 different sized heads at Princess Auto. You may need to buy a multi head tip mini box.

Vessel JIS screwdrivers are the best made .
