you need a new shift shaft seal. if i remember correctly you can just pull the shift lever off and pull the old seal out. youll prolly fuck it all up, but oh well.. then slide the new seal in.. done.

drain the oil,pull the clutch cover off and take out the shifter shaft.then pull the seal out and replace it.you might have a bent shifter shaft though that will cause it to wear out quicker. pack a little rtv silicone in the whole before putting the seal back in.slide the shifter shaft back in.slap it all back together and youre good to go.works like a charm :thumbsup:

you sure you really need to go thru all that? im pretty sure you can get that seal out without having to drain the oil, pull the over and sliding the shaft out..

well i was talking about the seal itself. youre prolly gonna fuck it up regardless when it comes out. i was just tryin to save you from having to pull the whole side off your motor. but hey, if you like more work then feel free to do it the above way. :thumbsup:

Don't you have to pull the clutch off to get the shaft out?

[J-Madd]

Yeah, but I don't think you have to pull the shaft out to replace the seal. Just get a pick and get the old seal out, sliding it over the shaft. And yeah you will f-up the old seal. You only have to remove the shifter and foot peg (and maybe stator cover, not sure the seal will go through the hole).

Just as Loco is saying, the oil and shift shaft can stay in the engine when replacing the seal. I had my engine on a bench when I did mine so I was able to tip the engine over a bit. But basically just take a scriber or something along those lines, pry the old seal out. Lube up the new seal, slide it down along the shift shaft and use a socket to gentle tap it into place. Once fully seated then you are done!
