Yamaha - Shift Rod Lever Gear Shifting Mechanism 6EE-G4121-00-00. Overview. When shifting starts feeling off-hard to get into gear or not engaging clean-it's usually something in the linkage. I've seen this lever be the culprit more than once, especially on setups that see a lot of use. It's a small part, but it plays a big role in translating your control into clean gear changes. When it's tight and lined up right, shifting feels smooth and solid every time..
