kjh Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I have searched and can't find any thread expaining or showing pics on how to the shift shaft mod. I don't want to send it out, under a time crunch and need to do it myself. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I would definitely do the mod. The stock design is that when you shift, you are only moving the shift drum just past the peak of the star. The roller on the downhill side of the ramp completes the shift. Cheeseball!!! Grind the slot in the shift shaft at the location that contacts the eccentric bolt. Grind out just enough to allow it to travel enough to rotate the drum all the way into the next gear. (The roller goes all the way into the valley. Roughly about 1/8" out of each side of the slot.) Be carefull not to grind too much to where the roller starts going up the next ramp. Adjust your eccentric before you start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjh Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Ok that makes sense, I was baffled the other night that it wouldn't move the star all the way. thanks for the pic, it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 i would only do it to a minor extent. enough to account for any shaft wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Shaft wear? WTF? FAST does it to brand new shafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 yah, so? and the shaft can wear just about as much as they do it. and they only clearance for the upshift, like i did on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Even the little respected Blaster comes from the factory with enough shift shaft travel, both up and down, to allow enough travel for a full positive shift into each gear. That's all I'm going to say about that. It's obvious that the whole Banshee (RZ350) transmission was designed by a crack head. "Hey, let's do 3 dogs into 7. Oh, wait, that won't work. OK, how about 3 into 6? Now, pass me back the crack pipe." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 actually, it was designed not to let you force the gear, but that doesn't leave room for wear. if you've been into other trans, you would notice that the banshee trans is more than 2x over-built due to it's nature. i have a lot of respect for the banshee trans in retrospect. and, the banshee trans is base from the sme as the rz, but not the same exactly.
