Just saw this thread. You may already have finished the repair. However, for the two allen bolts that are somewhat blocked by the frame, one option is to use a sharp 1/4 chisel and just notch the outer rim of the bolt, then tap the bolt counterclockwise to unscrew it. Replace with a hex head bolt so you don't have the same issue next time. Once inside, I think you need to remove the clutch basket to get the shifter shaft out. Not diffiicult, just a fit of a fiddle. A few years ago when I had the spring break on me, CSC had just started advising folks to torque the crankshaft end nut since they had one come off. Since I was in there, I did this as well. 100 foot pounds is a bit of a bear and you need a new lockplate. I don't think anyone else has experienced the crankshaft end nut issue and I am not sure that CSC thinks you should still do this. I don't know if anyone else has bothered with it.
