Quick update. Today, I finished putting Reaper back together, and went for a short test ride, before the rain hit. The transmission is shifting better than ever, and with no adjustments to the shift rod or lever positions, the front shift lever sits higher. So, I have to conclude that the pawl weld was on its way out for a while, and last week, it gave its last shift.

Cheers!
