your shift linkage could be out of adjustment. the two rods that run to your transmission. try disconnecting one and see if it shift *(without the engine running), then do the same thing for the other. if it shift into high without the low gear shift linkage disconnected, then they are out of adjustment.
Hey Jerry,
No, you do not want a lighter spring.. it will cause the engine to start "falling" out of gear, or not staying in gear when you shift... hard shifting is usually a sign of something wrong.. possibly a bent shift shaft, or worn/bent shift forks.
If it is hard to shift, both up and down, in all gears, its more than likely a bent shift shaft..(the shaft the shift lever is bolted to and runs through the center cases to the right side and controls the shift cam.).. You will have to remove the shifter(lever) and the right side cover, the clutch assy, and maybe a couple other small items..IF you are NOT intimately familiar with this repair - Take it to a qualified professional!!!

Sounds like you have either a busted shifter fork. Or the pin in the gear selector has broken off or the bolt as come loose in the center of it and the pin has fallen out. If it's the shifter fork it's an expensive teardown. If it's the gear selector it should be an easy fix. Look at the selector gear first but when you pull the side of the engine be careful not to lose any parts.
Because there's no electricity? If the engine isn't running and you need to get it into neutral (or if the shift mechanism fails) there's a shift lever in the tool kit that will let you shift gears manually.
Oh Dude, this isn't an easy fix. It sounds like your shift pawls could be bent, it also could be that the shift shaft that the pawls slide on is bent, worst case, there is some transmission gear engagement teeth that are damaged.
Often, it mean that the clutch stay engage. Now the question can be, is the idle to high for the clutch to disengage while at idle? you might try to reduce the idle speed by turning eather the nob on carburator or the ajustement on the cable.
then if the idle is very low and the clutch still engage (that is why you can not shift) you migh want to check at the clutch and see if it is not stuck.
