I’m assuming the issue I have is a faulty gear-lock button (that, or the locking gear that it restricts when depressed). If so, did you find a replacement button from the manufacturer? In my experience, they rarely offer repair parts themselves.

I also don’t understand why there was a flag claiming that this should be broken into separate guides. People aren’t THAT stupid, I hope.
