OK! I searched the board, got Dr Evils notes. Replaced every bushing. Even the firewall bushing and lubed everything well. Studied everything for broken mounts or transmission ears. Read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Made multiple attempts to adjust and it shifts like crap. I must really suck at this!

I can get first and reverse but every thing is still a mystery. It seems like going from first to second always winds up in 4th. Yes I did the 3rd 2nd alignment sequester by Dr Evil multiple times with the same results. So I must be doing something wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Or the shifter is bad. Looking at the shifter it is worn and certainly will require replacement at some point but it seems to be functioning as intended.

I guess in the adjustment process I did verify the gears at the transmission but I am confused as how to "adjust to where a gear should be." Also the directions say to secure the shift rod in the tunnel while you tighten the pinch nut. But with the new bushings there is some resistance to movement. Not binding any where just new.

So what am I missing? Should I drink while making the adjustments? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
