Broken Shift Linkage?

[undefined0000]

Alright, so last night I was just cruisin and I shifted into second and all of a sudden I missed it MAJORLY, pulled it back into first and back into second and it works, BUT it feels really sloppy and I had to move the shifter really far down. I thought at first it was the little c-clip again, but its something else.

Any ideas as to how I can fix that without replacing the whole thing?

That's usually cable replacement.

Maybe, depending on skills, weld it back together.

You could try to weld/fix it but, will it last since it is already broken? Probably not is the best answer. If it is broken, get another one either used or new; which ever your budget can afford.

Glad to still see you still fixing her up!!

Same thing just happened to me. Ended up buying one off a member for pretty cheap. Just post a WTB add...

Replace the cables, thats the only option. The boot broke, not the cable itself. You can't weld rubber.

Alright guys, thanks for the advice. I'll be looking for a thread here on how to replace them. I'm REALLY new to this M/T stuff . So I ended up just rigging up some zipties to do the same job the boot was doing for now since its my daily and I have to drive it to work in order to make some money. I hung out with some friends tonight and did some cruisin'. Held up so far. I'll be buying the cables here soon. Thanks again!
