Yeah, I'm kind of pissed off. The quality is definitely subpar. So far the engine itself runs well but I honestly have only put maybe 50 miles on it.

Well I won't mention names but a couple of our esteemed members have been salivating over this motor for a couple of years. I bet now they're glad you stepped up to be the Guinea pig. I'm kinda concerned myself because the sport quad I'm planning on buying has a Loncin OHC motor as well.

There has been a Hawk or two with shift selection issues as well, and more than a few guys have had to fix it. Most shift selectors are very unforgiving to any sort of wear or damage, and if the selector had and premature wear from your initial clutch issue it could have been accelerated or already damaged, and the fact that you are now noticing a problem is just a coincidence.
Believe me, I know this type of frustration well. Don't give up now over a relatively small issue. Either walk away for a bit and come back to it, or delve in and treat it symptomatically and fix it once and for all. Clear your head and try to push the frustration away. My First hawk seemed to have a new issue every other week for months, and I wanted to throw it off a bridge more than once. After finally sorting through all of the issues it was a good little bike. Bike two hasn't been the same way in large part due to me knowing where to go and what to do right off the bat to prevent most of those issues.

Yeah I'm slowly taking it all apart and going to look at it closely again

Without more/better shots of the right side of the engine, based on a few factors, I venture a guess that it might have a lot in common with a CRF150/230 bottom end, with associated parts, I think 08 or 09 and newer, the year they got rid of the kickstarter. If you need help looking up parts, I can get you part numbers and (potentially) a good dealer to work with.

Dan's right, they all have their troubles. But thanks to the wealth of information on here, my ability to read, comprehend, and remember it all at an accelerated rate, and having 5 winter months to tinker with it along with a fat wallet, I worked out all of the known bugs before the bike was ever even started.
But that being said, I got a good one. I say this because the two other Chinese bikes we bought had trouble my Hawk never had. And as far as the tranny, a normal rider does have to give it a firm upshift into 2nd gear, but that's because the additional hand shifter does add a little bit of drag to the linkage. I'm thinking about putting a polymer bushing on the bracket coming off the jug, but realistically how many normal riders will be riding my bike, and it shifts like butter when you use the hand shifter.

If you're going to replace the shifter parts (and are willing to split the cases), I'd look at replacing the shift forks and drum, while you're at it.

Have you contacted the seller to see if they could send you the parts? I would think you have some kind of warranty. Worth a shot.
Since most of these CG250's are very similar I would try contacting Jeff with PeaceSports Atlanta. He could verify the dimension before you order the shifter. I would be welling to bet its the same as the Brozz https://shop.brozz250.com/eshopprod_..._Mechanism.htm Or TT250 https://store.cscmotorcycles.com/TT2...EVER-s/317.htm
