Well just finished checking and Im stumped guys. The bushings and bearings are fine but my horseshoe clip is bent and cracked at the top. I hammered it back into shape to see if it would hold and it did but I noticed that the shifter cable is bent at an almost 90 degree angle. Is this normal? When ever I try to shift into a bottom gear it does not even push the link forward but instead the metal braided cable part bends downwards moving the link no where. I need help fast so if someone can take a picture of their cables that would be really great.
