Donald Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 Hey everyone. Im new here. Came across this site using google. Lots of very useful info here. My name is Donald, and I live in Las Vegas. Just got my first Banshee, and I love it. Rode it for the first time the other day out at Amargosa dunes. My first time riding in over 2 years. Felt great to get out and ride again. Anyway after I got done riding, I was getting ready to load up and noticed i couldnt get into neutral. It seems stuck in second and third gear. I drained the tranny and there were metal shavings. So I get to tear it apart tomorrow. Anyway, im really enjoying this site. Quote

Meat Posted January 22, 2010 Report Posted January 22, 2010 welcome to the banshee headquarters. The metal shit in your oil could be just from the clutch plates. Id refill the oil and try it again before you start ripping into the bottom end of your new banshee. Its common for neutral to be hard to find when the engine is running. There's also the possibility that the shifting problem is caused by the shift star or the mechanism that moves the shift star and you don't have to split the case to fix this. These parts are located behind the clutch side case cover and below and left of the clutch basket. Good luck with it, I hope its something simple to fix. Quote

Donald Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks for the welcome. Well i took off the cover to the clutch side. Everything on that side seems fine. i have nothing connected to the shift star and can still only select 2 gears. So looks like the problem is internal. Quote

Donald Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Posted January 25, 2010 So i found the problem. It was the part that moves the shift star. Im so happy its an easy fix. here is a pic of her. bought some sand gear rims and paddles day before i went to the dunes. and figures the day after i ride i find a good set of haulers. oh well these were pretty light, and get the job done.
