bansheePQ Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 i never play in a banshee tranny exept for clutch repair and stuff like that.....i never took a look inside the case..... do i need to split the case to install a Yakkey shift cam?? thanks for the good advice............... Quote
80overShee Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) Yep. You need to be able to realign the shift forks and since there is no outside access to the transmission other than by splitting the cases.....yes, you have to. Thats the one bad thing about a 2-stroke...on a 4-stroke you can just take off the oil pan, slide the shift forks out of the way, slide the shift drum out and reinstall the new one. Oh well, the pains of a 2-stroke are worth it. Let us know how you like that Yakkey drum, I am intersted in getting one if they smooth the tranny out like they claim. Wait...........shift CAM or shift DRUM.....I didnt know there was a Yakkey shift CAM. If it is just a cam, then you do not have split the cases, just take the screw out of the cam that holds it to the drum, thats all. What I wrote at the top is for a shift DRUM.

bansheePQ Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Posted May 2, 2006 yes its a shift CAM but i look into the microfiche and look like I have to split...... Quote
biggun6ss Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 Isnt the shift cam the part under the gears that the shift forks follow? Quote
80overShee Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 The "shift cam" is also known as a "shift star" and can be access from inside the clutch cover. A "shift drum" is what the shift forks are aligned by. It is what controls what gears your are in. The shift cam (star) just keeps it in that gear. Many people confuse the names of the parts. I was just searching on the internet for pictures and it seems to be VERY common. But I consulted a few of my parts manuals to make sure I wasn't the one that was wrong. I wasn't... This is a shift CAM or shift star. You do not have to split the cases to change this This is a shift DRUM. You DO have to split the cases to change this on a Banshee. Quote
biggun6ss Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 Are there any aftermarket shift drums out there that provide a smoother shift? Quote
KlotzBanshee Posted May 3, 2006 Report Posted May 3, 2006 Yeah, Made by Yakkey....I think Alba sells them. Quote
