Gear shift Lever

Been looking for a blow up on the gear shift lever and not finding one. My question is what is holding it on. It must be a c-clip or a snap ring but not sure if there is a washer also. Noticed while riding today I missed 2nd gear ( went into neutral) twice. Took a closer look and noticed my lever was barely on there. So if someone gets a minute take a look at theirs... I'm sure I'll find one locally but not sure which type it is..... c or snap

thanks

I ride with boots too but that doesnt happen to me...... Unless the shifter is hanging off the post.


Guess I'm not a newb.

Yeh there's a C clip holding the lever to a bolt (if my memory serves me correctly), I'm at work now but pulled it apart a while ago

I thought so too but the groove is so marginal that a snap ring would make more sence. I swapped to a woodcraft set-up more than a year ago and now I cant remember. Since I dont feel like reaching down and shifting by hand, I better find one tomorrow.

Yes there is a C clip and a washer that holds it on.

Do a full clutch adjustment and make sure the shifter is adjusted so you can get a clean firm shift.

Re: Gear shift Lever

They all technically are C-clips though. Or Circlips...... or Circular Clips.......

but common names help keep them separated in some peoples minds (like mine)

This photo from left to right shows
1, internal snap ring
2 external snap ring
3 E-clip






C-clip
