landonwood20 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi guys I'm new to the banshee world, I recently bought a 2003 banshee, when I first started riding it putting it in neutral was tougher than one of my friends banshees. I was riding on a gravel road, I came to stop, went to take off and it died as if the tranny was bound up, for five minutes I tryed and couldn't get it into nuetral. I was able to put it into 3rd gear and limp it home. On the way home I down shifted into 2nd and the rear tires locked up and it died.shifting into 1st and 2nd gear is very tough. Haven't had a chance to drain the tranny oil and see if there is metal shaving in it. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

banshee den Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 sounds like you have a busted shift finger are a bent shift rod. because I had a similar problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUILDER Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Sounds like a broken or bent shift fork and the repair is hard to guess on. You able to tear the motor out yourself and get it apart? If so the repair will be much cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Drain the oil, then pull the cluth cover to see if it's anything to do with the shift shaft, eccentric, or star. I get the feeling you'll be splitting the cases as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03DMshee Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 First off...this is 2014....the word "tranny" has a whole nother meaning in todays age.... Please refer to it as a transmission... For example...if a customer walks into my shop and says "I blew my tranny last night" firsr thing I would do is call him a sick fuck... Anyway...sorry to disrupt...carry on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landonwood20 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Yes I have all the tools and knowledge to take it apart and put it back together, I haven't worked on banshees much though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landonwood20 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Well I drained the oil this evening and there wound up being no metal shavings in the transmission oil. I am starting to think it may be shift forks? Also even when the clutch lever is pulled it still acts like it is in gear and won't let the back tires spin freely.

trickedcarbine Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Seriously, just split the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Well I split the case only to find a few sheared transmission teeth. Yea, that will generally cause a few issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landonwood20 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 If it weren't for one of the teeth being wedged in the gears I probably would have never know it happened. What should a set of gears cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
