Thankx Hodax, i wish i could say it's been my pleasure, but what started out as a simple repair has turned into a nightmare! But things are looking up. Also everyone, turned out that nothing was bent, but there was some broken, missing pieces fron the gear detent assembly. If you look closely at photo #9, near the center of the picture, you will see two small black lines comming off the round center part of the detent assemble and each end resting on two small tabs. This is part of the detent that ratchets back to spin the shift drum for another gear. On mine, one of the tabs was missing and the spring had popped off not allowing the shifter pedal to return fully. My bike initally had all the gears after my mishap, although first was hard to get, then she got stuck in fifth. I've read several other post where this spring was the culprit of no shift problems. I'll post pictures of the offending parts in greater detail. Bigern
