If he can't shorten it ask him to retube the front half. that's what he might want anyways...more money.

Well thats Just it.he can't even do that Stating how they machine Weld those shafts from the factory.They slide over or into each other and are machine welded.Granted he did say he could get a Yoke and make one but....he said he'll do what he can.

i mean,the min I held the shaft up and said I need this shortened he didn't even get it out of my hand By taking a Quick glance and said "can't do it man".

damn I don't want to have to buy another one.

THREAD BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!

I'm actually having the same exact issue with my Soarer R154 not being able to shift out of neutral. It wiggles around in neutral but just won't slide into gear.

Just like the OP, I do not have a clutch hose yet so I can't press on the clutch. What was the fix for this? Was it just a shorter shaft that's needed?
