It would appear the shifter managed to work itself loose. Removed the clutch pack and heated the shifter arm to refit. Mildly deformed pivot to ensure it doesn't pop off whilst I source a new assembly

Is that an easy fix or do I need to split the engine casing for that?

So I have a 1997 JTX 270 which runs and rides an absolute dream...or did... I was out on it Saturday riding with no issues. Rode it to a stop and (I believe) put it in neutral. After a quick break I go to start it again and attempt to click it in to gear....no click. Gear not engaged. Shifter returns to normal position. Tried shifting up, again no click, shifter returns to normal position. With bike off, I use my hand and push the shifter. It moves full travel with no clicking in to gear. Almost as if there are no gears. I have an event on in 6 days time so any help ASAP would be ideal! I'm under the impression it could be an issue with the top hat assy. Can I access thus through the clutch cover (I believe not) so assume it will require engine out case split. Better if I can do it in the frame. Any advice much appreciated! Cheers, Edward
