Dunable override -hard to shift to 5th

[J-Madd]

I've ordered new shift forks but not sure they will be here in time for the PS race..but the old forks look great. However, the dogs(?) ("ramps" or whatever they are called) on the 5th gear have small burrs on them.

 

It seems to engage fine while turning the adjacent gear - bear with me as I explain.

 

I hold the transmission shaft vertically and then turn 1st gear (adjacent to 5th gear) which in turn, engages/moves the 5th gear up as the dogs hit, as it should. I do get to a rough spot after a few turns, but it doesn't seem that bad.

 

Could this be the shifting problem? All other gears shift fine, btw.

is this sitting in your cases and not running??

 

if so it seems mine and other did that dont know why but once running it never had a problem shifting problem my hand probably wasnt turning it fast enough to shift butter smooth in the cases i dont know.

No..it won't shift to 5th going down the track. I can beat the hell out of the shifter and it will shift sometimes. It first did this my very last pass last year....and continued to do it 3 out of 4 passes already this year. I'm gonna pull the forks out of an extra motor anyway and fix the burr on the gear.....surely that will fix it.
