After stopping for a short break yesterday, I tried to start my M2. I heard a funny clink and it did not start. When I tried to get it in neutral, I couldn't budge the shifter. I got it started and went down the road and could NOT shift. Finally I got pissed and stomped down on the shifter and then I could shift. The whole way home I kept getting stuck, sometimes in 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Anyway, I read the knowledge vault and saw it may be 1) Primary chain tension, 2)Shifter Detent plate (clip?) or 3)shift shaft adjustment. Does anyone know which is more likely? Thanks.

Edit: My M2 came off the line in 11/99. As I understand it, it may have and "old" detent plate that was upgraded during the year 2000 production.

You would get better response posting this in the "OldSchool" section, or the "Quick Board", thats where the majority of the M2/Tube Framers hang out.
