Yes, the bad news is bent shift forks. The engine comes out and dissassembles into about 75 different parts. The gears come out, the the shift drum, then the forks. Not a job for the Saturday mechanic.

    By the way, don't be too hard on your buddy. A shift fork can bend at any time. Grandma could be riding a bike and bend a shift fork.

I have a 1996 Suzuki Intruder 1400. The engine shuts off when I shift into 1st gear with the clutch squeezed. Any suggestions for solutions?
Check the sidestand switch and the clutch switch. Both of these will give the same problem.

Suzuki Intruder 1400 1996, First to Second Gear is harsh!
Change the fluid in the clutch reservoir,bleed out the remaining fluid.(keep it full as you go) Should be dot 4 fluid not dot 3. U may need to rebuild the master cylinder or replace it.

Corolla Having trouble shifting
This could be a kick-down servo adjustment.

Refer to the service manual.
