When I took the cover off, the only thing that came out of place was the elbow-shaped arm with the spring on it that goes from the gear change pinion/bolt to the gear selector drum (sorry for the inaccurate dumb-man's terms). I got it put back so that it shifted just fine, and it looks right compared to the dark, blurry and upside-down photo the clymer's manual has, but it's just when I tighten it down that it starts getting crappy. Is there a washer on the gear change pinion that maybe fell off?
I can post a pic tomorrow of what it looks like without the cover on. Idk if that will help though, because everything works fine when the cover is off lol. It's always something with these bikes, I tell ya.
