MDS2106 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Posted December 8, 2004 has anyone done the shift star mod. on their stock star? what tools are needed to do it. I thought maybe i could do it with a bench grinder Quote
Otis Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 send a PM to boonman. He's the one most of us send our stuff (head/flywheel/shiftstar......) to. Quote
boonman Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 Bench grinder will work alright. Although, it will be severely uneven, unless you have countless hours on a grinder. At any rate, you won't be able to do the neutral backcut with none other than a vertical, (or with some managery, a horizontal mill...)mill. This will give you smoother shifting, and less missed shifts, but the neutral backcut is a must if you wish to find neutral with the engine running. Quote
boonman Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 I almost forgot, you will need a new clutch cover gasket, and you will have to remove the clutch, which I use an air impact for. Once that is off, you will need a phillips screwdriver, (and sometimes an impact driver) to get the screw out of the shift drum. The Clymer manual shows the star, and the internals. Also, Meat's site, www.TheBansheeZone.com I believe has some pics as well.... Quote

I have re-used mine a few times now without any issues. Quote
Redlined Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 I did mine with a Dermal Tool and some grinding stones. You can even do the neutral back cut if you have a steady hand, with a Quote

Also, is this better than this gizmo I've heard good things about? http://www.shiftpro.com/shift-pro_new_001.htm I have an '00 shee, and it's next to impossibe to get into neutral with the engine running. Before that, I had a '96 shee and after 6 years with it, neutral was never as hard to find as it is on this '00. TIA, _dennis Quote

Fireman-hott Posted December 9, 2004 Report Posted December 9, 2004 I have a shift-pro and like it, noticed a difference immediatly and can find nuetral while the engines running on my '03 Quote
MDS2106 Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Posted December 10, 2004 well i did the mod. today with a dremmel tool and a bench grinder looks like it came out really good. however when i pulled my clutch off i notced that the clutch housing has a little play like the ribbits are worn or something i can grab the gear and turn the housing about a 1/4 of an inch each way.is this normal?

Flyin_Shee Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 Can you buy an aftermarket shift star for the Banshee? My '00 is a pain in the ass to shift into neutral and it misses sometimes. Quote

TIA, _dennis 291009[/snapback] The neutral mod works very well, before I did it to mine it was very difficult to get in neutral with it running, now it's a breeze. Here's a link to a pic of mine for comparison, I don't do these anymore. Shift star with backcut neutral Quote
Redlined Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 Ron helped me out when I was thinking of doing this. He sent me his images and I went from there. Thanks Ron Quote
