sdatver Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Alright I was gonna take the shee out for a ride the other day when I noticed it had a puddle of tranny fluid underneath it. I checked the fluid and it was low enough not to register on the dipstick. I checked over the quad and the whole back side of the transmission is oily, along with oil all over the underside of the swingarm and all over the shock. I know it is tranny fluid on the shock and the shock is not leaking. I also have a small puddle of tranny fluid under the shift shaft. I cleaned everything up and took it for a 5 or 6 mile ride and when I got back it all was covered again. Can the shift shaft seal be leaking that bad or do I have other possible problems as well. One other thing to note as well is when I bought the banshee the back part of the stator cover, the part covering the sprocket was cut off. Isn't there a guide or bushing for the shift shaft that is supposed to be there. So I will be looking for a good stator cover as well if that is the case. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Yes, the shift shaft seal can be leaking that badly. You might want to check the countershaft sprocket seal, and make sure it's not leaking, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Also seeing as you said you recently bought the bike.......check the cases all around the shift shaft.....if the chain has broken before it can crack the cases. Or if it doesn't crack the case it could have smacked the shift shaft hard enough to crack the case on the lower side (not the top side like normal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lms1977 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Make sure the tranny lent line hose is hooked up also and make sure it is not pissing out that fitting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Clean it off real good (brake clean) and take it for way shorter run to narrow it down. Also check the nutral light cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 The Banshee motor is a spin off of a street bike motor, which had a neutral indicater light switch. On Banshee it's only a cover, it has an O-ring, or could be old and cracked. Same side as sprocket, front and down of sprocket. There's a replacement solid aluminum cover for it.

That cover has a crack in it that is on my list to order. Is the o ring on the outside of the case?

An easy way to know its that cover is the dirt around it wet or trans fluid puddle up in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I just meant is the o ring on the outside of the tranny case wondering if it can be replaced without splitting cases Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
