Putting cases back together...can't shift through gears

[okbeast]

Getting my crank back tonight so I was getting everything put back on that I could last night. I have the shift star in the neutral position, the front shift fork in the middle and the back 2 evenly spaced out, then dropped the tranny shafts in basically the only places I can see them going. Now I know it is kind of hard to shift these with the cases split b/c of the shift shaft sliding out, etc. but the book says you can run through the gears to make sure everything is working right. I also tried to adjust the shift shaft how the book says. Should I be worried about this or put the cases back together and get it in the bike then check.

 

Also, when I split the cases I did not take the shift forks or the shift drum out.

Hold the roller arm away from the shift star and turn the shift drum by hand, should roll right through the gears.

The book is wrong. The reason the trans does not shift properly on the bench is because it is a sequential constant mesh trans that needs to be loaded to feel right. If you can twist the drive and driven shaft in opposite directions and get it to fall into gear, it probably fine. If you cannot get any gear changes at all, that IS a problem.

i dont think you have any problems. ive had my motors apart tons of times and always put them back together, thrown them in the bike and the gears were fine.

When I've split the cases on my Banshee(s), you could always reassemble the motor & verify that it shifted thru the gears. You want to do this while its' still on the bench. Are you twisting the gear-shafts back & forth to get the teeth to align...
