    2005 ignition switch removal

    I replaced my ignition because it got where it didn't want to turn. Very long story short, my key was worn out ! The old ignition works fine with the spare key 😕

    Starter Click, Rocking to move the crank works.

    This pic is what you are trying to do. See post number 3 in this thread posted by me. That is the closest thing to a step by step I have seen. That's what I used to fix mine. It's not hard to do.

    Transmission questions

    It seems like the hydrolock would have shown up when you were turning the engine over to check the valve clearances 🤔

    First gear problems

    The trick is to pull the clutch lever in at the same time you press down on the shifter. It takes a little practice, but it eliminates the problem.

    I can't comment, having never spoken to anyone who was dead.

    Rear shocks

    I thought most modern shocks had nitrogen under pressure in them. May not be safe to open up ?

    Rear shocks

    They are stock length with the heavy duty springs. I'll have to measure the eye to eye length. I'll do that tomorrow and post it up. Thanks Bill !

    Rear shocks

    The left shock is leaking. It was kind of a relief. When I saw the oil on the floor my first thought was diff. It didn't smell like diff oil, so then I thought front u-joint spline seal. Shocks are cheaper and easier than either one of those problems.
