Nutz Posted September 19, 2004 Report Posted September 19, 2004 I need some advise on the shift star topic. I have a 2002 and having serious problems with finding neutral and missing gears. I have seen new stars at Magic Racing but dont know what to do. Your advice is very much appreciated....... Quote
nater006 Posted September 19, 2004 Report Posted September 19, 2004 The stock star makes it hard to find neutral, and the shifting is really harsh. The modified star is a great improvement! I never had a problem with it missing gears on the stock shifter, but it was a pretty harsh shift and not the best.. If you do get a new star, get one of the cut ones instead of just another stock one. Quote
Oilsmoke Posted September 19, 2004 Report Posted September 19, 2004 Nutz Booman On the HQ will do your star. Great mod I did mine and Love it. Made my 94 tranny shift great. Quote
boonman Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 I can machine yours, or sell you a brand new modded star. However you wanna do it!!! Quote
Nutz Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Posted September 20, 2004 Thanks all for the info. Boonman, how much for the new modded star, and how difficult to replace in an 02. Quote
nater006 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 Replacing it isn't too overly difficult with the right tools. Have to pull the right case cover, meaning that you gotta drain the gearcase oil and coolant. The only hard part past that is pulling the clutch. Pull all the fibers, etc, then the basket has to come off. Then the shift star just has a single phillips-head screw holding it on. Quote
fixitrod Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 I had a problem shifting while under throttle. The little cam that adjust the shifter to match the shift star was loose. It looks like a flat head screw and has a retaining nut. I tightened that up and it's fine now. Quote
Nutz Posted September 20, 2004 Author Report Posted September 20, 2004 Thanks all. i guess ill buy one soon, sick and tire of the problems!!!!!!!!! Thanks again..........Brian Quote
hamuel Posted September 25, 2004 Report Posted September 25, 2004 any suggestions on where to get the tool to remove the clutch hub??? Quote
fixitrod Posted September 25, 2004 Report Posted September 25, 2004 If you have a welder you can just make one. You can also set a wrag between the gears on the clutch basket and primary gear ( I think that's what it's called). I don't know where to buy one though. Quote
