Road Toad shifter problems-first time here guys...

Hey All,
Rick Patston, St Paul Oregon. I just bought a 75 Road Toad yesterday, fairly complete needing some TLC, did get it to fire today so that's a step in the right direction. The shifter seems to be stuck in gear, clicks down but no noticeable gear change and nothing shifting up. I've looked at some of the illustrated parts manuals online and looks pretty straight forward but thought I'd seek a little advice before I tear it apart. Anything would help. I have collected vintage Japanese bikes for 20+ years and this is my second Hodaka. A few also laying around are a 1959 Yamaha YD2 and 1961 Honda C105T.KZ1000LTD and a GS550MZ Katana. Oh, and a CBX Honda.
Thanks in advance...Rick
