Gear Shift Shaft GS450

[Anonymous]

I have a GS450A that the gear shift shaft is bent and yes of course the item is discontinued. Would the shafts be interchange able with like a GS450S?

What years?

The GS450GAF is an 85. I can get a new shift shaft for an 85 GS450LF from bikebandit.com. The GS450S I am thinking of using is an 80 model.

450a is that the automatic. I think you only out would be to remove it & try a repair

Done tried repairing it. Looks like someone has welded on it before and didn't weld it right so the shaft warped due to the heat. Back to the drawing board. Dang Automatics are hard to get parts for. I had to have my dog gear and shift fork tig weleded and machined down by a machine shop. Talk about a pretty penny. Looks like I am going to see of they can make me another shift shaft as well.
