got1banshee Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Sent my engine to Jim because I was do damn stupid to figure out what was wrong with it. Jim tore into it and told me that my 5th gear welded itself to the shaft and thats why it never had neutral. So now I need to buy a new shaft and 5th gear. Damn its never going to end. Jim said that in all his years he has never seen this happen before. He beat the hell out of it with a hammer and still didnt come off. We are overnighting the parts so hopfuly I can be on the road again by tuesday I hope. I need a little good luck or a donation pot so I can afford to keep fixing her haha.

Holyman Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 ust curious... what kind of trany oil were you running and did you have a coolnt leak into the tranny case? Do you have pics of the damaged parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkabina Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 One of the banshee's I bought had the same problem.But I put mine in a press and luckly it came apart.Then I used a belt sander we use to use at cannondale and polished the shaft, then I used a stone for a die grinder, I don't remember wich one,and polished the gear.I put it all back together and it works fine.

boonman Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 WOW!!!!!!!! That sucks!! I had a similar experience when I replaced my crank. I had 4 gears that were all chewed up. The tranny never made a peep that something was wrong.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Dang... Mine's got a very hard-to-find neutral. Can't wait till its time to tear this thing down. Hopefully they didn't get you too bad on the new parts though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
got1banshee Posted March 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 ust curious... what kind of trany oil were you running and did you have a coolnt leak into the tranny case? Do you have pics of the damaged parts? I used Transoil sae 10w30 thats what the dealer told me was the best that they had. Jim at Passion told me to just use regular 10w30 or 10w40 engine oil like catrol gtx or somthing. When I drained the oil out of the case I didn't see any kind of coolent in the oil, it looked good. Jim said that the guy that I got the banshee from could have ran it low of oil for awhile and filled it up when I got it because I dont have much time on it.
