My bike will not shift into 3,4,or 5th. The toe/heal shifter has excess play and nuetral can be difficult to find. Shop tech says there is a broken spring in trans which requires the teardown of the trans. I think this was caused by accidentally stepping on the toe/heal shifter while the bike was off and parked in neutral. Does the tranny in fact need to be tore apart, or can it possibly be fixed on the top side or drum side of the trans?

The parts are a forward and a rearward shifter arm and foot rubber that both fit onto a splined shift rod above the foot rest pad.

Here's how to repair a broken shifter toe peg on a motorcycle. The shifter toe peg on my Buell Cyclone was broken off almost completely flush with the shift lever, and the factory used thread locker when they installed it, so the only way to get it out was with an easy out bolt extractor, which is a special drill bit. First I drill a good-sized hole in the middle of the shifter peg bolt, Thia is the most important step. I made sure the hole was in the center of the bolt so I didn't damage the threads on the gear shift lever. Then I put the easy out in the drill, set it to reverse, and it pulled the old broken bolt out. Then I cleaned out the threads in the shift lever and installed the new shifter toe peg using thread locker. Buell recommends using red Loctite. On my Harley Davidson FXR I installed a new shifter toe peg without using thread lock, and it unscrewed itself and fell of after a few weeks of riding. You definitely want to use some type of thread locker. There are no torque specs for putting the new motorcycle shifter toe peg on. Buell just says tighten it until snug. If you have ever crashed your motorcycle, than you've had to deal with this problem from the crash damage. I hope this video helps get you back on the road.

The derailleur has to be properly aligned to the chainwheels, then adjusted properly. A new cable must be installed correctly so that there is not excess friction, and then given the right tension. If that is done then the problem may be the shifter. If when you shift from the large chainwheel a single click sends it to the smallest then the shifter is possibly broken. You can try squirting wd-40 or similar into it to see if it's gummed up.

The heel and toe shifter is brutal on gear boxes, any motorcycle I have had over the years the heel shift was never used in fact we, we meaning all my friends would ether cut that hell part off or purchase the actual toe shifter and install it. Some of the new cruiser type bikes come with these heel and to shifters and you can hear the rider slamming the gears. The toe shifter is a much more precise feel. You can also feel if the shift has go into the gear or a faults neutral with the hell you slam through it, makes me shiver just thinking of it. A question to you (you don't need to answer it) is how many high performance motorcycles have you see with a heal/toe shifter, I would hope none

If you wrap some foam rubber or a bit of cloth around the shifter you wil overcome the problem, and get a free shine at the same time. Unfortuantely, these bikes do not have a heel shifter. If you go to a bike shop, you might find one that has matching splines, that wat you can downshift using the toe shifter and up shift using the heel..

as far as i know its just a stratght swap, as far as parts go just google it online. probably get one on e-bay at a good price
