Much obliged! That's a relief! I have to add adjustment of the shift linkage to my list now though.. bummer

Stiff getting into low gear and have to hold the shifter in low i order to make sure it stays in place. Something about taking off the PAX seat and the center cover, placing in neutral and looking at some sort of detents. Still browsing the service manual for the solution. (thank you for providing it
Any whoo thats outside the topic of this particular post, if I have any issues Ill post a specific 'shift adjustment' topic.
Much obliged, thanks again!
