So I've put over 1,000 miles on my Stella these past few months. She definitely grows on you 
Unfortunately, it's about time that something went wrong, and I'm hoping it's just a cable that needs tightened. When shifting the numbers mean nothing anymore. basically if I move the grip all the way forward it moves up a gear, and all the way back moves down a gear (or vice versa I'm not sure lol) Basically the shifter is really loose. And the other day I had trouble getting into 1st. It doesn't want to go into 1st until it's stopped, almost like the clutch is partially engaged, or the synchro's worn out, or SOMETHING... Obviously it's not fully engaged because I can still stop and take off just fine. It also gives a very loud clunk when shifting from a stop, and seems to engine brake just a little when i shift while moving (but it shifts smooth, at least when I could shift it at all...)
So I'm kinda wondering if anyone here who's familiar with a 2T shifter can point me in the right direction for getting this fixed? I haven't been able to find a repair manual or anything on the transmission. The engine/tranny area is missing a chunk of the plastic shield and it's absolutely soaked in oil, so I'm thinking something else might be causing this. I can post a pic if it'll help. It leaks a few drops of 2T oil, but I never thought anything of it since it's a very small amount. Could it be possible my tranny fluid (does it even have tranny fluid???) is leaking?
The bike is still rideable, but I'm thinking I might wanna keep it parked until I get this fixed to avoid shattering my gearbox or something.
