ldbarchee Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 I recently purchased my first Banshee. Today I pulled it out of the shop and ran it down the street and when I started down shifting it wouldn't come out of 5th gear. It will shift up but feels strange doing it but it will not go down past 5th gear. What could the problem be? Quote

AKheathen Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 could be the shift lever bent and stuck behind the pegs on the shift star. i would check that first. Quote
ldbarchee Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Posted September 12, 2009 could be the shift lever bent and stuck behind the pegs on the shift star. i would check that first. Thanks for the input. I have been told that the shift shaft or the star could be worn and cause it to shift too far and get stuck in between gears. Can anyone verify this? Also I have heard that there is a modded part that can be installed to prevent this from happening. Where would I get this? Quote
AKheathen Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 what you are looking for is a new modled shift star with the longer pegs. there is also a sift shaft mod that will really help it shift while you're at it. check with the site sponsors to see who has them. i believe fast, alfies' toybox, m&M atv and mabey a few others has or can get them at a good price. they are also pretty helpfull guys Quote

There is a mod for these? Also would you replace the detent roller in there as well? It doesn't seem hurt but you never know. Quote

It doesn't seem hurt but you never know. same mod i mentioned already about the star. just check out the roller. if it has tons of play, sticks, or can roll off the star, then yes, but otherwise, they really don't go out.
