Banshee dav Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 My bike will get hung 3rd or 4th gear if i leave hard. But if i take it easy off the line then it will shift fine.I have a full 6speed override. I can not figure what is doing it.The shift forks are fine. I don't have a modded shift star.What could be causing this. Sometimes it will get hung in 2nd or sometimes 3rd.Or it might do fine.It is not consistent. Quote
Phelps Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 mine hangs when it's low on oil, but it's a stock trans..... Quote
TNTS355 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 This has happened to me also. Did you set your eccentric screw to the proper setting? If the hooks that move your star are not exactly in the middle you will have the same problem. Quote
shanYE west Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Its a slipping clutch.. Need to add weight to the lockup Quote
_Hex* Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Its a slipping clutch.. Need to add weight to the lockup yes.. 2nd that either that or the eccentric bolt for the shift shaft is loose Edited June 21, 2010 by _Hex* Quote
Larry's Shee Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Its a slipping clutch.. Need to add weight to the lockup School us less knowledgable on how a slipping clutch would cause hard shifting? Especially because it's not a consistant problem. Plus with an override isn't he not even using the clutch to shift? Quote

Plus with an override isn't he not even using the clutch to shift? A slipping clutch doesn't cause hard shifting.. It just causes it to hang up. when the clutch is slipping while under power it creates a tension/bind on the trans and wont release. Using the clutch lever to shift has nothing to do with the holding ability of the clutch. Its not consistant because he's not launching consistantly or shifting at the exact same rpm. Alot of variables so some passes are putting more torque on on the clutch then others. Being on asphault is going to put even more load on the clutch. There is some other things that could be causing this problem too. I just mentioned the most common cause.. I'd definetly inspect the clutch pack and components also. Adding weight to a fried clutch is defeating the purpose.. I'm actually having the EXACT same problem right now on my big motor.. Quote
badassbanshee479 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 are you running the washers on the engine mounts? do you have an engine stay? the engine twisting in the chassis can put the counter shaft in a bind and it will shift hard or not at all also...... Quote
Banshee dav Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Posted July 8, 2010 yes.. 2nd that either that or the eccentric bolt for the shift shaft is loose The eccentric bolt was loose!!! Quote
dans4x4 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 The eccentric bolt was loose!!! I have the same prob..... ????? Where is the eccentric bolt??? What should it be torqued to? Quote
stema1966 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 I have the same prob..... ????? Where is the eccentric bolt??? What should it be torqued to? According to clymer manual 22 ft-lb. send my your email address and I will send you pic of it. If you have a cylmers manual. page 144 shows the bolt and page 148 has the torque specs Eccentric bolt is located next to the shift star. It is used to adjust the shift drum pins with the shift shaft. Quote
