So I've had what seems to be a ton of problems with my 03 venox but I have managed to get them all fixed except for this shifting issue.I had the bike running for a few days and drove it maybe 3miles of the course of those days. And one day I couldn't get the bike to go into neutral so I did some poking around and noticed the tie rod from the shifter pedal was bent so with a few good pushes with a block I got it straight and it started shifting in all gears fine. The next day same thing happened couldn't get it into neutral so I noticed the tie rod was bent again. This time I straightened it and started shifting thru all gears by hand without actually riding it. Then it got stuck in 2nd gear. Left it alone for a week and after changing fluids because of a bad petcock getting gas in the crankcase, it shifted up to 3rd and is stuck again. When trying to shift it the shifter returns to center goes up and down. Going down it moves very easily like its not attached to anything and when shifting up it seems like it's trying to go into gear but doesn't completely. Any idea what is wrong. I'm hoping it's not internal
