Ripped it apart again heading to the transmission shift lever. I have some serious play in the foot shift lever and had this problem last summer.
Ok, I "fixed" this issue last summer (well I thought I fixed it :eek2: but my gear shift lever loosened up this past fall and just getting to it now. I haven't ridden it being unemployed and hence having not much money :dunno2:. Anyway the last "fix" involved red Loctite (not sure what number) supposedly the "won't come loose stuff". The shift lever is attached to a shaft which goes into the transmission and is secured to a lever with a set screw. Well this set screw is the culprit. I'm not sure what I did wrong but obviously it didn't hold.
My question is half rhetorical and half serious. I wonder if Loctite is resistive to trany fluid and if anyone has had to deal with this same issue I wonder what you used to secure said set screw?

The Loctite should be OK for this use. Did you check the shaft for wear where the grub screw enters?
It have been issues where the hole have becoming oval, when this screw have become loose....
