Default HELP WITH A SHIFTING PROBLEM

HELLO,
HIT ME WITH ALL THE NEWS!!!!
I HAVE A 1981 650 KAWASAKI 26000 MILES
MOTOR RUNS WELL.
NOW THE HELP ISSUE-- I ONLY HAVE NUETRAL 1ST AND 2ND
IS THIS A HUGE PROBLEM? IS IT WORTH FIXING? HOW MUCH WILL IT COST APROXIMATELY?
I WILL HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE FIX IT FOR ME (NOT MECHANICALLY INCLINED)
OR IS THERE A BOOK THAT WILL WALK ME THROUGH THE PROCEEDURES?
ANY INPUT HELPFULL!!! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

If you are not mechanically inclined, clutch work is probably not the best place to start.... To have a bike shop repair it, I am guessing around 300-400 bucks???? As long as it is not the tranny.

Welcome to the forums...Enjoy your stay..

if he can get it into first and second useing the clutch and not 3rd then im going to guess internal tranny problems. definitly not a first timer job. and say on the hi side 1200.00 to repaire.
