Yea, I'm going to have to find a decent day this week and tear it back apart unfortunately. I'm really hoping for a bent or broken shift fork, unless the eccentric screw came loose.

Also, my guess on what made the gear break previously is low gear oil.. When I bought the quad everything seemed fine, but after the issue occurred I tore it down and found a small crack that leaked oil and my assumption is the oil leaked out and I lost the lubrication I needed which caused em to get too hot and broke off or something. I don't know too much about quads.

I'll get a pic of the old transmission uploaded, but the problem last time I believe is unrelated because the symptoms are different. Two teeth on the gear setting broke off and it wouldn't go into neutral, in fact it would drive in what was supposed to be neutral and wouldn't go up or down. Now it was good and got stuck into fourth I want to say, but it still shifts up to fifth and sixth, but not below fourth. The old trans gear set is attached

I mean, the only issue in the transmission the first time was the final drive, I replaced both gear sets. When this happened, I had just bought the bike, so I might have had it three or four days before the tranny began acting up in which case it got torn down and found what was wrong in order to be fixed/replaced. After it was put back together it ran great with 0 issues. Took it on 2-3 long rides and it randomly stopped shifting lower than fourth. I'm not the one who fixed it, my buddy is a yamaha tech and he did the tear down and such. I don't see how it wasn't done correctly being that it drove great after that?

Stupid transmission issues . Hopefully tranny issues aren't too common with these machines. I'll have to split the cases again and sit on it.

A few weeks ago I had an issue where my Banshee would drive in neutral but wouldn't shift out of it (very weird I know). I ended up remedying that issue by splitting the cases and checking what was up with the tranny and found that on the final drive gear there were two teeth broken off. I put in a set of new gears, put her back together and it was good to go! Drove it a few days everything was fine and out on a drive my friend got on it to check it out and on the way back over it no longer shifted below fourth. I believe it's fourth anyway, hard to tell because it won't shift down. It seems to shift up once or twice and back down but that's what leads me to believe it's in fourth. I'm wondering what it could be that would stop it from down shifting into fourth. It runs fine still, and drives in fourth and such but obviously I'd like to fix it so I'm able to shift correctly and not burn out the clutch by starting in fourth all of the time. Any ideas?

When I bought it (a few days before that) there was oil in the lower end.. I asked the guy if there were any leaks, he said no.. I noticed no oil spots under where the bike is parked. Assuming you guys don't check your gear oil everyday, now do ya?

Yea, I have a buddy that knows his way around quads pretty well so hopefully I'll have him help me tear the thing down tomorrow or this weekend. Hopefully it's nothing too crazy!

Hopefully this is the right discussion page for this stuff, if not please move it if need be. With that being said, I encountered a very odd problem with my shee. I was riding it last week and it was perfectly fine, ripping hard, smooth, yada yada. The next day I went to ride it a bit again and forgot to check the gas, and stalled out down the road. While pushing it back I noticed that there was some resistance from what seemed to sound like the engine trying to work while pushing in neutral.. I thought nothing of it. The other day I put gas in it and went to start it to go road riding in the snow and I noticed a loud whining coming but also noticed an exhaust leak from between header and silencer so I thought that's where it was coming from. Road it for a minute or two to see if the sound would go away and the bike died. It would no longer drive in first, instead it was able to actually move in neutral when the clutch was released. When shifted into first and I would try to drive it, it died. I got it home and let it sit for the night, the next day I went over the bike a bit and noticed there was no bottom end/gear oil and thought it might have been the problem but after putting new gear oil in it and I try to kick it in neutral it still tries to move. Any possible ideas?
