bansheebarnes Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 so I was out riding...obviously...and everything was great. my buddy was bringing he skid steer down to fix that track a lil bit. so i was dinkin around in the field. I was driving like normal, so im heading back down to the track and i shift all the way down but it feels like its bogging a lil. It won't shift out of 3rd or 4th gear. for some reason i can start out in 3rd....not easy or good on the clutch i know, but i had to get back. and i can only shift up to 4th. I just am guessing on the gears based on how it feels. but why would it only the two gears work? I can see blowing out one gear. but 4 gears? What can i do to fix this? in a perfect world id like to do this with out splitting the case....but i realize that probably wont happen. Ive never done tranny work before. Im tempted to take it to a shop, but that would be a lot of money that i dont have to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a spring loaded little claw like part that attaches to the shift shaft. It ratchets the shift star(which is connected to the main trans drum). They are notorious for wearng out. Ive swapped a few between me and my buddys. May not be it but its the first and easiest thing Id check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN SHEE Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 pull the shift shaft out and see how much free play the claw has. The shift shaft is pretty cheap, you should get a clymers and it will bring you right through it. I know Jeff at FAST has the Clymers and the shift shaft.
