Floppy Shifter, Not Good

[warp9.9]

Well all done and back on the road. Running great, shifting smoothly but with positive solid engagements. Went 100 miles between late yesterday and today. Weather is damp and cool. Tomorrow is supposed to be super nice, 65° for a high, then cold front moving in. I'm happy shes back on the road.

Cool another Rocket Scientist is born

It sure looks a lot better in one piece! I just read the whole thread again. Half the stuff went way over my head!
Congrats!!

Well dreaded reality has sunken in. My problem is the floppy shifter isn't changing the gears while flopping, it's just flopping around. Guess the gear change actuator bolt came out or broke. Looks like my Thanksgiving will be dropping the turkey out of the frame and splitting the turkey. Anyone have experience doing this repair? Any short cuts, hints and tips?

If it's the bolt on the selector shaft has come undone it's an engine out job . massive job and expensive.

It is a big job...but he's had 4 years to sort it so I hope it's repaired by now
