I've done it before with a bench grinder and a dremel. All you have to do is grind the points down and make them smooth. Go to cascades website and look at their modded star. It shows stock and modded. You can see the difference

thanks what about the shift pro kit or whatever does that work??

Yes. If you do the shift star mod, get the shift pro, but use the factory spring with it instead of the lighter one in the kit.

I bought the Cascade star, works awesome. I didn't do the modded shift shaft and this thing still shifts like butter

The shift pro was designed to be used alone. When you do the modded shift star, your removing alot of the effort in the shift as it is. So with the shift star AND the shift pro, you can get a shift action so light...that a jump can downshift you. LOL.

I got the Pro Mod tranny from Greg at WCR (That's an MX/Woods tranny, not an Override) and he said to just run the modded star and the shift pro, but not use the spring. The shift pro has a roller bearing on the arm that the factory unit doesn't have. It helps the star roll with less resistance. But if you do the shift pro and the modded star...the spring will be a little overkill.

 

If your shift forks are in good shape and you run a fresh shift shaft along with a modded star and the shift pro arm.....you'll be very happy for a long while.
