Transmission shift lever

OK... so my transmission shift lever broke due to metal fatigue I guess and it looks like I have to pull off the inner primary housing to change it. How hard would you rate this job on a 1 to 10? I have some mechanical skills but I have never pulled a primary.

I have a little mechanical skills and have had the primary outer and inner off a few times. I would rate it about 5. Having the proper tools will help a great deal. The clutch nut and front primary chain sprocket will be the tough ones to get loose.I took notes when I had my inner and outer primary off. I had to replace the countershaft bolt on tranny. If you have any questions in the tear down let me know. here is a pic of what mine looks like now. Very easy to get to once the inner primary is off. Good luck

Thanks for the input I think I will give a try. From what I can tell I will need the engine seal and the outer primary seal, is there any other seals or parts I will need to replace?

You may not need all of the seals but if you are in there and have it apart it just makes a good idea so you dont have any future leaks and have to go and do it all over again.

You can remove the Inner primary keeping the starter bolted up as long as you unhook all the wires off the battery, unplug the starter solenoid wire, remove your side covers, and unhook the wire that runs between the starter solenoid and starter motor. Just makes sure you unhook your battery before you unhook any wires off your starter. Otherwise you may touch a positive to ground and that would be bad news
This is what was given to me to change. Once you get in there you will see the seals. I did see a shift lever on ebay also. You might want to check it out. I have broken down my bike a few times I just kept good notes for the bolts locations. Hope this helps

I would think it would be eaiser to pull the 4 bolts holding the transmission and slide it out and replace it. Just have to loosen the tire so you can remove the belt, unhook the neutral switch and see where the shims are between the transmission and frame at each bolt so you can replace them to the same spot.
