Author Message   Od54 Posted on Monday, April 20, 2009 - 08:07 am:        I was riding home friday and all was well. Then randomly I go to shift and while the pedal moves like it should there is no shifting happening. I pull over mess with it for a while to no avail. Finally I tap the rod going into the transmission with the but of the screwdriver and it starts working again. And to top it off, on a completely unrelated topic (I hope) the belt finally gave out 15 miles later. Any ideas on the shifting problem?   Patrickmitchell Posted on Monday, April 20, 2009 - 08:35 am:        It sounds like the shift linkage is loose on the output shaft. I know it seems simple, but did you check to see if was tight?   Od54 Posted on Monday, April 20, 2009 - 08:57 am:        I did. Unfortunately it all seemed well. Everything moved together as it should. One thing I just thought of, the shaft does seem to have some end play. It will move in and out a little. I can't say how much for sure. Maybe a 1/16? Maybe more/less.
