The Google link manual doesn’t have images of the inner workings, which is what I need. I hope to fix it rather than replace as it’s a very cool look for this Schwann cruiser. The search for a service manual continues….
Unfortunately, Shimano rarely has documents that show the inner workings of their parts (gears, pawls, springs...). Many of these parts are preassembled units and not intended to be taken apart. The
whole shift unit is replaced onto the handlebar bracket or brake lever (if applicable) upon failure.
If you search Shimano's tech doc site, the available docs are easily found but as mentioned above, is not always too useful.
Your best bet is, if you can find something on the web by someone else that has done & documented the disassembly of your shifter or a similar model.
