Admittedly,
I haven’t followed this thread very carefully. And maybe
this information isn’t pertinent but, on my M28KSR with the
3 speed gearbox, I cannot switch speeds while the motor is
running. I have to stop the motor and just before it comes
to a halt I can change the gear lever. Actually, its easier
just to wait for it to stop and move the motor by hand as I
change the gears. Again, this could be totally irrelevant to
this discussion but I thought I’d mention it.
Well I stood on my head and squinted and managed to find a
position where I can get a screwdriver onto the second set
screw (on the side). Now have both set screws as tight as I
can get them.
It seems to me that it's taking too much force even if I grab
the rod at the back end and wrestle it there instead at the
knob. Is it possible I've missed something in the lubrication
process?

Well this made me take the cover off of mine. I think my
problem is that I can't get enough bite on the new knob to
keep it from slipping. With the cover off and access
internally I can shift all 3 speeds. The original knob
would have a screw going through the hole in the shaft so no
slippage problem with it.

Here's a video of shifting gears on
a 28 Compact - there are very distinct sounds while
running and shifting between the three speeds. Are you
really shifting to the 45 baud gears?
There are 3 separate pairs of
gears that get selected by the lever. So somehow you
aren’t really selecting the 45.5 pair. There is no
adjusting the speed except by selecting one of the
pairs. I’ll take some photos.
