pabansheematt Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Ok, I have a 1-4, clutch 5-6 duneable overide. I've had it for years with no problems untill now. It keeps chewing up the #2 shift fork. The side facing the drive sprocket. ( the fork closest to the drive sprocket ) It still shifts fine. Im not sure what could be causing this. Any ideas or info would help. Thank Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Im gonna go with its got rounded dogs,due to the due to the backcut on the sliders the rounde dogs will try to spit the slider back out but the fork is stopping it,without rounded dogs it would mesh and lock without too much pressure on the fork.You can send them back to whitaker for re conditioning,or buy a gear and I can mill it out for you.

Im not sure theres a problem with the gear. But I did find a single broken coil on one of the small springs. Im wondering if that could cause it to wear the fork out.

pabansheematt Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 How critical is the tension on the springs? Who cuts Jeffs trannys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 the springs are pretty critcal for pushing the fork to get the gear out of the way when the other one takes the load. otherwise, the next gear will throw a back-load on the previous gear, possibly locking it in 2 gears at once. if the dogs are not rounded at all, check the shaft splines for wear. that can add resistance for the gear trying to slide in.

I took the gears off the shaft and checked everything. The dogs look like new, and the gears slide easy on the shaft. So im guessing it was the broke coil on the spring. So I replaced the spring, and hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
