I was also wondering how do I know exactly what position I line up the shifter shaft and clutch arm. Does it matter if it was takin apart in gear? I didnt take it apart down to the trans just the outer case. How can I ensure it's in the right gear to insert shifter shaft in correct position? 

It was number 16 from the shifter!! Thanks so much shadetree!!!! Do u have a cash app or other way I could send a token of my appreciation???

tjp, number # 16, the tip on it, they break off. you will need drop rear swing arm, pull stator cover off back of engine. either raise the back up really high ?, or drain the engine oil ?. drop the rear swing arm, pull the rear stator cover to access the shifting shaft from the left side. once the stator cover is removed, remove # 19 bolt and # 21 part, slide # 10 shaft out, then pull # 16 out from the rear of engine, my money say's the tip broke off.

It might be off the shifter arm I'll have to check when I get home. Its already tore down and I actually ordered this part already because I suspected it was the issue I'll have to compare them later and get back with you. Thanks 

I am working on my 2002 Honda forman 400 with shifting issues. When I pull apart the case I came across a little metal nipple that looks to have broke off from somewhere. I've searched around and tried to find where it came from with no luck. It looks to me like it's steel and not off the case it's self. Any help would be greatly appreciated TIA!!!
