Gents,
Finally found the time to put my '06 FJR back together after a 2nd gear issue, and I've noticed I'm catching air with the shift lever on occasion. I've noticed that there seems to be a considerable amount of end play on the shift shaft going into the transmission (> 0.100") I think when the shaft walks itself to the right, the ratcheting mechanism on the other side of the shaft loses contact with the studs on the shift barrel. I've adjusted the linkage, bled the clutch, and soaked the discs in Rotella T6 overnight.
My question is do I have a unique situation with my bike or are any of you experiencing the same problem? How much end play do you have on your shift shafts?
