Judging how fast you jumped into replacing the shift lever I think an engine tare down wouldn't be that tough for you. Pay attention to detail, there is't anything on these that needs to be forced together, everything falls into place, The cam's and timing chain are the hardest part. So take your time and see how it goes.
thanks, I definitely don't want to run it this way. so my options are 2

1. new motor $500
2. new case, so I know the bearings have to be pressed in, would I be able to get away with just a new top part where I broke it?
