Adjusting Shift Lever, And Yes, Screwed That Up.

[twotonevert]

So, didnt think I was that strong, but broke the linkage from the shift lever to the shifter. Now I need the linkage, both nuts, and one ball and socket connector. Does anyone know if I need special tools to replace the ball and socket adapter on the shift lever itself? And does anyone have parts? Otherwise will be looking online. Craaaaaaaaaaaaap!
Quick online search shows I need gear shift link rod, gear shift link rod nut, but do I have to buy the gear shift lever assembly? I dont see the part for the ball and socket adapter only. Grr!

Well first off just FYI, the threads on the linkage are reversed, on one end.
Second the ball does not come off, only the black boot.

Joy, thanks John. Looks like I am buying the entire shift lever. Got anything laying around for Gen 2? Need the above parts.

I don't have the lock nuts for the linkage.

That looks exactly like what I need. I think I see a nut on the rod at the shift lever, I have the other one. What would you take for it? I have one place locally I was going to call and see of they had it in stock. I want to ride this weekend!

OH, and HUGE shout out to nosbig for getting my butt back on the road. New shifter and lever rod fit perfect and I will be riding tomorrow! Thank you nosbig, I sincerely appreciate the help.

Glad your back on the road. Sorry you didn't get it in time to ride last weekend.

Not to worry, Mrs. Twotone had plans to account for that. LOL. Again, thank you so much.

I can relate, my wife is excellent at making sure I don't get bored.
