Transmision problems i need help

[05shee!]

hey i am new to this sight... i have been riding a banshee for about 6 years now... i have been having some problems with the shee lately tho... so i need help... im sure i could figure it out by teareing it down but i just wanted to ask 1st to see wat i could come up with... i was riding up a steep hill climb and hit a medium rock on the way up and almost lost it but like your typical crazy guy on a banshee i kept goin full throttle balls out! then here comes the last part of the climb also the death of the shees transmision, i hit another big rock n poped up in the air and lost all momentum so i quickly shifted down from 4th to 1st and bang the engine died! so i fire it up again i only have like 20 more feet to the top so i hit the gas and dump the clutch the bike instantly stalls out like theres a big stick or rock stuck in the chain! so i get off the shee to figure out wat the problem is and come to the conclusion that there is no rock, or stick stuck in the chain!.. its 1st gear! 1st gear is solid! so i try seccond gear and it takes off like it should so i hit the gas and make it to the top... once on the top with the rest of the guys we look over the bike and sure enough 1st geaar is solid! si i ride the bike back to the cabbin without 1st... so wat might have broke?any input would be great

i would pull the clutch cover off before you bust something else your transmission will go to crap if you ride it again i rebuild all my trains missions my self my bro busted something in his buy slamming the gears on a down shift he busted something in the trans to boot it required a weld and it was good as new but stronger then new then he continued to stomp the gears tell the shifter bent and all was good . i bet you you wore out the shift star first gear pin a magnetic oil screw should catch a busted gear if that fishes it out and i never use first gear on a steep hill because i usually cant hit it on top of the hill

I had the same problem awhile back..after replacing the wore forks the problem was still there another teardown reviled that 2 of the snap rings that held a gear from sliding back and forth on the transmission shaft had came out of there groves allowing it to bind-up in first gear...

either way, you are going to need to split the cases. first thing to do is put it in first and see what it's doing. it's likely just a shift fork bent
