gear questions

[bp12]

i just put a new top end on my banshee .20 over due to fryed rings . while in the process i needed to find root of problem and i did which was stripped out water gear (the plastic one) so fixed that problem and then i figured if im doing all that might as well change all my seals as well . so thats all done and back together but have not started it yet my question is how can i make sure my shifter is proper it will shift a couple gears but i cannot seem to find neautral . i did not move the transmission aside from changing seals any insight will be highly appreciated

The way the Banshee tranny is designed, it won't shift unless the gears are spinning.You can try turning the countershaft sprocket and shifting through the gears, or if the motor is in the frame, take the spark plugs out, roll the bike around and shift through the gears. Did you check the shift shaft adjustment under the clutch cover while you were in there?

what is it exactly i look for on shift shaft?

Make sure the hooks on the end of the shift shaft are not to sloppy where they pivot on the shift shaft. The hooks also need to be centered over the shift star pins, if they aren't you need to adjust the eccentric pin that the spring goes over. You really need to get a shop manual so you can do this properly.

yeah i have a clymer repair manual and if i was reading right and as you said the hooks were sitting between two pins (centered) so my other option is to start it and check it out huh? i also have to do the breakin so hopefully it will work
