I just finished putting my case back together after opening it up to pull part of a wrist bearing out after it fell in while replacing my piston. I noticed that I somehow bent the shift cam stopper while pulling the case apart. I removed the stopper and straightened it without trouble then put it back on. It seems to fit perfectly into the small cutout on the tooth of the shift cam. I put everything back together and the first time I started it I found it won’t shift out of neutral. The ratchet on the shift shaft does not turn the shift cam; it engages the pegs but the cam does not turn at all. I have done just about every rebuild chore that one can do on a Blaster but I have almost zero transmission experience. Is the cam supposed to turn? I assumed (I’m probably wrong) that the shift shaft should rotate the cam one “space” each time it is shifted and that the tooth with the cut out on it is for neutral. Am I wrong? My manual doesn’t address this at all—it just tells me how to remove and install it. When I push or lift the shift lever it gives a popping feel ( like it’s shifting) but the motor doesn’t shift.
Thanks
