General Two Stroke Talk / Need help with case question... 2001 Kx 250

Okay took it all apart and here is the problem i think! The shift shaft can move horizontally through the case and is suppose to be held in place by the tab shown in below pics. The tab on inner case has been ground down in fashion (looks to be man made) i would say almost 1/3 inch. When i opened it up i found the little spring that holds the fork and the shaft laying in the bottom and spring was all bent up and sheared. So i know im losing shifting from the spring being sheared off.

Now... I moved the shaft all the way out and the little tab that the spring goes through hits the kickstarting gear. So i think what is happening is the tab on the inner case that is ground down is letting the shaft move to far over and the spring is getting sheared off by the kickstarter gear! What do yall think? Is there suppose to be this much space between tab and shift shaft?

Thanks alot for all the help!!!

How would you tig weld it? Isn't it pot metal? If it was aluminum I could see it but maybe it is aluminum... I could probably take it to a welding shop huh? Thanks

Would jb weld weld be strong enough? I guess just dril three small little holes in it and it would hold better?

I have a 2001 Kx 250 that I am having issues with... I was riding one day and it wouldn't shift out of second gear. So I opened the clutch and took basket out. Looks like the spring keeps popping off. So I replaced the spring and put it back together. Rode for about 10 mins and did the same thing. For some reason the spring keeps popping off. The one that brings the shifter back to the center. I'm thinking about and and when I put the inner clutch cover back on the tab that sticks out of the case that the shifter butts up to looks like it has been filed down and the is to much play between the end of the shifter and case. Almost 1/4 inch probably! Is this normal? I wouldn't think so! But I know for sure someone has grinded that tab down. Does anyone know if the tab is suppose to be up level with the side of the inner case? Thanks so much guys
