Gear shifter
I have a 1995 Giant Yukon that my dad gave me. I have mostly fixed it up, but I can't find a replacement gear shifter for the one that is broken. Can anyone help?

There is no 1 'gear shifter' , but a large number of possible items.
take your bike there, so they can see it , I cannot.

Are these "trigger" shifters?
IF so, a common fix is to thoroughly flush with WD-40 or some other solvent IF the problem is failure of the pawl to catch.

If you want to do it yourself, then supply enough information, preferably with pictures, so that someone can help you.
