Winter sucks. (Transmission)

Hey guys. Last fall I replaced the shift shaft on my XS, it went through the gears just fine, the bike sat all winter... I thought maybe it was nice enough to ride today, and now it won’t go into second. For what it’s worth, I also removed my kicker, since the tab for the spring on the engine block decided to snap off. Pretty clean break, I have all of it, so I doubt it’s related to that.

And that is, for lack of better words, F****** BULLS***!!!!!

One of the little springs on the shifter assembly may have broken .....

Thanks! I guess I’ll start there? You know that little bit of pain you get in your soul when you drain fresh oil?

I'd drain it into a clean container and put it back in.
