let me just make sure i am describing hard shifting correctly when i pull up on the shifter at times like it is not grabbing anything like the shifter is just free moving i noticed the spring on the claw that grabs the shift star is pretty much shot i am not trying to beat a dead horse on the whole shift shaft theory i am just trying to eliminate any possibilities before a tear down anyway thanks for the help and replies!! paul

that sounds like the shift shaft... not your forks.... when the shift shaft gets worn out it will not turn the star. when your forks are bent it will feel like your getting ready to shift and a metal rod got jammed in the way.
