God how I love working with a master tech, our fingers are crossed. I will update monday for those intrested.
Thanks for the thought!
The exact same thing happened to another of our FZ6 owners, but he jumped the gun and replaced the whole lump from a salvage yard...only to find out later that it was indeed just the outer seal and bushing on the shifter lever almost rusted in place with gunk and stuff!.....Pretty sure he was from UK...where the weather is always damp and rainy...that would add to the problem...thank god for WD40.....
