I agree, that bike must have been dropped at some time. Unfortunately if the bike is dropped on the left then it will go. The problem is that the shifter is stronger than the shaft, and it will always go at the weakest point.
One solution is to weaken the lever (saw or dril thru it) so that the lever becomes sacrificial. Another thing that some people are doing is to fit a folding lever.
I very much doubt that JB Weld would do any good in this situation, it would need a proper welding job. If the shaft does have to be replaced, I seem to recall that it can be done thru the sump, rather than removing the engine and splitting the cases.
Good luck with it anyway.
