Bansheerider82 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I rebuilt my motor about a month ago and made it a 421 from Wicked. I mostly ride trails but i also like to drag my buddys on there 450s. If i try to drag race i start in 2nd and can get it into 3rd gear but it wont go into 4th or 5th if I have it pined, you really have to let out on it to get it to go into 4th. I have been reading posts that higher HP engines need to make there tranny a OVERRIDE TRANS. Is this true or is there somthing else i can do or buy that would help my shifting problem better?

Talk to CAMATV on here. He does a tranny mod that would probably fix your problem. I wouldn't do an override if you're going to continue to trail ride it.

BigRed350x Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Do an override. 1-5 or 2-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansheerider82 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Are you not using the clutch? Yea I am using the clutch. I think its putting to much pressure on the trans when i have it pined in 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUILDER Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have a 421 cub that I like to drag race from time to time also and shifing is a issue. I have spent a lot of time trying to make it shift. The one easy thing which I am guesing you have done is the modified shift star the other thing to do is to make damn sure your shift shaft is in really good shape and is adjusted up where it needs to be. If you get everything set well they will shift even with a little more power than stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I recommend A n-down 1-5 dunable override. I love mine on my play bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Nothing shifts like an override, period. However, my advice is to get a modified/cut stock tranny. I don't know anything about Wicked....but I'd talk to them first. I'm sure other site sponsors like HJR and FAST can help as well. There are a few bolt on mods that will help, but in my opinion, you'll have to go more. Cut every other dog off the tranny for starters, making sure the main shafts are clean, straight and bur/wear free... I had a 4 mil cub and a new clutch with the pancake bearing/pusher mod, and my stock trans was in great shape, under full power it just wouldn't shift reliably.

03crawldaddy Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 How do you like it? Where's the power? You get the Athena or the sr71? I've had a few people in my area recommend them, even tho they are on the other side of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
