Striped Shifter Splines
Hey guys i got a buddy with striped splines on his shifter linkage and we dont know what to do. We thought about welding it but people say it will get in the way when it comes time to pull the starter witch is a good point....Any one have any better ideas??
thanks

If the tightening bolt is bottomed out and the flat portions touch... grind a groove into the shift lever itself to widen the amount of adjustment the bolt will do.. sometimes if there are enough splines to catch it will get you by for a while..
Idealy, get a new shift lever.. the splines on the shaft itself are rarely worn.. it's almost always the lever at fault.
Buy an " Emgo " for 15 to 20 $.. it's worth the money.. or get a real honda one for tripple the price.
Check with Howdy from these boards.. he probably has something that fits..
Welding is the last resort... when the motor is trash and you plan to junk it.. then it's an option.. sometimes.... but don't weld it..

You could just weld it on, then when you need to pull the starter off, you take a hacksaw....
