No ways you can do proper gearbox repairs without splitting the motor.
Bit of a hassle but fairly straightforward.

Not sure what the xt looks like inside yet but my ktm had a shifting arm in the clutch side case. Might be an idea to have a look in there first as it might just be a broken spring in the shift mech instead of gears / forks
