On the topic of the shifter, does anyone have a service & repair manual, or disassembly / repair instructions for a Long HN-1001C shifter? Probably any of the HN-1000 series manuals would work - they're probably all the same anyway.
My shifter assembly has 2 socket head cap screws on each side of the bar slightly below where the shift lever attaches. The 2 screws on one side are tight, while the 2 screws on the other side are loose - they appear to be threaded out nearly all the way. They're inside a square collar that surrounds the lever, preventing me from getting to them unless I disassemble the shift assembly, probably starting with the countersunk flat socket head screws. I'll take this on without instructions if necessary, but it would be nice to have some idea if springs or small parts are going to fly out.
