So I'm installing one of these. First time inside the motor so just a bit apprehensive. Get to the part of sliding off the clutch cover and it seems to be hanging on the gearshift shaft. Much tugging and pulling later it just pops off, probably just like it should have to begin with. Get to looking around and I notice the shaft is slightly bent. Any body ever seen this? I couldn't have bent it while wrestling with the cover, could I have? I'd like to think it's sturdier than that. Maybe it happened when I was kamikazied by the deer a few years back. How big a deal is this?
Anyway got the Safe-Start piece on and I'm letting it cure. I'll be reassembling in the next week or so. So what's the best way to get the new gasket on? I'd like to get it right the first time for a cahnge.
Thanks...
