man, hate to bust a bubble but a shift star probably isn't gonna fix it.. if its hard to get in gear and hard to shift, sounds like you have some bent shift forks, unless you are making a ton of power you shouldn't have these problems.. if you are making a lot of power just get a dunable overide.. but if its forks i would suggest, new forks, shift drum bearing mod, shift star, and you can have every other dog cut off the gears to make shifting easier.. next time i have my trail shee apart i will be doing this... good luck..
