It happens. You don't need to explain your life to a cranky guy like that

On my 01 and 07 I replaced rod without removing primary.

If you do take primary off id consider replacing primary bearing. And maybe shifter shaft seal.


Use manual for your bike. Tq procedure has changed over years

Good to hear, those things have a history of working loose, keep an eye on it mine did the same thing and it did dull down the grooves on the shift lever, and got progressively worse over time.
