the shift shaft that attaches to the shifter goes thru the engine cases to the other side, behind the clutch there is a pin which the shift shaft goes over, this pin becomes loose and falls out or the shift shaft fails where it contacts the pin. In order to get the cluch cover off some weld on the frame has to be ground off to allow for enough clearance. Make sure to locktite the pin in when reassembling. Pay attention to how the kickstart is installed as well as how the reverse lock-out goes in. Good luck...those were a great old bike !!!
