    Aloha, At the races last weekend, my shifter decided not to and would prefer to rotate around in circles, sticking me in 3rd gear. Unfortunately, it did not simply disengage from it's locating slot...as I was hoping it did. I assume I'm going to have to split the cases to get into the shifting mechanism itself.

    I cannot (for whatever reason) locate a service manual for 82 models. If someone has one they want to sell/share/?? with me I'd be very happy. Or... if it's a simple job, please let me know of any special things to look out for like left handed threads etc (I think the magneto is "lefty-tighty, righty-loosey) right? Anything else?

    Mahalo,

    Probably lost the bolt or pin in the link arm that "ratchets" the shifter drum. Pull the clutch cover off and it should be fairly obvious. I think there is a online manual on this forum under tech reference?

    I pulled the cover at the track and didn't see anything "obvious" though that sounds like what it might be as I can manually operate the horizontal arm that shifts the gears...I got it from 3rd to neutral manually. No manuals for 82 that I can find. Anyone got a link for me?

    Steve,

    I would really like to get that added to the tech ref section... any chance of making a copy of it and mailing it to me...? I can then scan and upload as a pdf....

    Thanks, T

    Thaks guys for the tech ref assistance. Apparently, the male slotted shaft has come loose on the arm. There appears to be a brass sleeve? that friction fits the shaft to the arm? Can I just spot weld the two together??

    Skidmark,
    My 430 did the same thing, except mine was worn out on the part that contacts to the shift drum. Check yours for wear there too. Luckly that assembly been used on Husky for years up into the 90's, so it was still available from Halls cycle in ILL. Here's the page in the assembly manual showing
    this part.

    Husky T--- i've the 83 engine assembly manual in a tif, if that helps [IMG]

    I have three manuals in PDF for early 80's aircooled husky engines, and all three are slightly different. They are 7.8, 3.7, 3.2MB files. If someone wants to PM me with e-mail addresses, would be happy to send
