Hi,
Shifting gears was really hard. I had to depress the pedal after shifting each gear on this '79 T140e. Proceeded to removed the kickstart outer cover to see if things would loosen up but they didn't. I removed also the plunger. Then removed the primary chain cover and found that the selecter shaft was sticking somehow to the cover (will need to investigate that further) but my current problem is after putting the plunger and kickstart cover back, I can no longer find neutral. The primary chain cover is still off and the gears seem to be shifting nicely.
Any idea what could have happened? I was able to find neutral before taking this apart. Is there a special step to take before putting the plunger back in?
Thanks,
Michael
