Nothing looks bent in this motor or is it just me?

[Tri-ZNate]

The nut on the clutch finally made me mad today so i ended up making my own socket to fit it. I figured the stopper pawl was gonna be bent but when I got in there nothing looked broke or bent. Could I have another problem or am I just missing something here? Howdy everything look good? (Original issue was it would go into 2nd, 3rd, and 4th but would soon kick out into a neutral like position)

Did you check your shifter forks. It sounds like the fingers might be worn.

just circle which part of the pic you need a better pic of.

Weak springs. Replace the springs on the shifter mechanism, it should just need the spring that goes behind the shifter paw but I would replace all of them since you are in there and they are just a couple of dollars each. Also check to make sure there isn’t a crack in the shifter paw arm, doesn’t happen too often but I have seen it.

Having a weak spring or a combination of weak springs in there will cause problems like the machine popping out of gear, the shifter not returning, or having a false neutral in-between gears.

ok. I was moving the lever there and it didnt want to pop back to the middle position without me doing it. Sound like weak springs as well?
