Shift Star

[BrianEb]

I bought a shift star and I was just wondering what steps and in what order I need to do to put this on. For example do I take the shift shaft out, do i take the whole kick starter out. I just what some detailed help so I don't "F" this up.

I'm sure you will get a detailed description, but seriouslt buy a Clymers. If I rmember right, you only have to remove the shift shaft which is simple anyway and hold the spring loaded part to the side to get it out. just make sure to not strip the screw, it's pretty easy to do.

Apart from obviously dropping the oil and removing the clutch cover, you'll need to remove the clutch and basket. Also, you'll at least have to pull the shift shaft through enough to spin it out of the way. ... You don't need to remove the kick start mechanism. You will probably need an impact driver to remove the screw that holds the shift star on, as it should have had loctite put on it. (Clean the threads and re-apply loctite). ... The star only goes on one war, so you can't go wrong there.

 

Good luck, and enjoy your easier found neutral!

I have the Clymer for referance.

Now when I remove the clutch and basket, I'm just going to have to remember what order the plates come off and go on. How many plates are there?

The exploded view illustration in the Clymer's is not that detailed, as far as the order goes

Once you've removed the clutch boss, just take the whole basket off in a one'er with all the plates still located. ... Either lock up the cogs between the clutch (driven gear) and the crank (drive gear) with a folded rag, or take the stator cover off and use a holding tool of some sort on the flywheel and an impact gun on the 32mm (I think) nut of the clutch basket.
