Doesn't want to down shift.

[destructo]

Bikes been down for a couple years now due to a bearing going out. Found a used motor condition unknown but compression was good. long story short... got it installed, got the clutch issue figured out, now it won't downshift when coming to a stop and neutral is impossible to find unless you come to a complete stop and shut it off. Clutch adjustment has been verified per the manual and advise on the board. I need to pull the side cover once again to install the starter gear fix from my old motor and I'm unsure what I need to look for. It upshifts fine just doesn't like coming back down.

It appears I have solved my own problem..... I was fiddling with the Shifter lever and noticed the lever moving but not the shift shaft. The shaft was stripped out. Threw a pair of vice grips on the shaft and it down shifted just fine, finding neutral is smooth as silk. . It didn't want to downshift because it wasn't getting positive pressure on the shift shaft.
All is good....

Is the shift shaft on the other engine ok. Easy to swap out.

I've found a good one to swap out, thanks to DogBunny.
I don't want to cannibalize the other motor too much, it's the original motor and I plan to rebuild.
