It should be fairly obvious what's jamming by inspecting the gears, selectors etc. Your'e going to have to go in there to fix it anyway.

There is no separate kick start quadrant on a T100, like there is an a 650/750. It's made onto the kickstart shaft. So I'm thinking you'll need the k/s shaft, the needle roller that goes inside the shaft (if not included), the k/s pawl, the 1/8" dia split cotter x 1" long (or longer), and maybe the k/s return stop plate. You'll need the 2 cover gaskets and some gear oil. I have never seen the first gear damaged from a sick k/s pawl. Since you have to go all the way inside the g/b, I'd also replace all the coil springs in the shifter mechanism and cam plate plunger if you don't know them to be less than 20 years old. Replacing the o-ring and seals on the gear shift and k/s shafts wouldn't be a bad idea either. If it's not the pawl causing the issue, then it's usually damage caused by allowing the k/s lever to fly back up. The T100 return stop boss is very small and often mushrooms or peens over in strange ways when owners watch too much West Coast Chopper.
