jason Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Hey ya'll, since this is my first time posting, I have to say thanks for the great website. Here's my problem: I've got a '98 Banshee, with a brand new barnett clutch in it. It used to slip in 5th and 6th before, but then all of a sudden, it was stuck in either 3rd or 4th gear. I tore it apart, and put the new clutch in, but it didn't help. I've got some pics I'll upload later, but the "C" part of the shift arm that rides on the dowels seems weird. It's facing like a normal "C", but I was told it needs to be flipped around. I just used it for trail riding, and the occasional drag race. Any thoughts?

ledofthezep Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 You may check & see if the shift forks are bound up on the shift star...see if the teeth on it that move the pegs on the shift star are off or have popped into the center of the star. Would be my 1st suggestion anyway, the forks should be facing like a 'C' though, yes... Welcome to the HQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? 391059[/snapback] Jason , it should be flipped around like a backwards C. Feel free to give me a call and i will gladly walk you through it and might be able to help you with parts as alot of times after the shift shaft flips around like that it messes up the little spring!! 785-364-5325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Thanks, man. I heard from I believe it was d34 that it was supposed to be flipped around but I forgot. So it should be outside the dowels instead of inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTOYS Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Yes looking at it should look like this ) . To save future trouble i would recommend a new one though! Call me if you need anything! 10am -6pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know wtf I was thinking...perhaps I don't know shit about banshees afterall. In the meantime, I'm going to set my pc to dial & redial your number 100 times...

Fireman-hott Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 While you got the clutch all apart, might I recommend one of those shift-pro kits. Great improvement on shifting, HIGHLY recommend it if you do trail riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can hook you up with a new shift shaft, shift mod , and easy spring for less than the shift pro kit. Ask Stclark, Locogato, and others how good they work!

Fireman-hott Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 overpriced may be an understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
