TROUBLESHOOTING

Check the following items when shifting difficulty is

encountered.

• Shift cable adjustment/condition

• PVT alignment (clutch center distance)

• Idle speed (throttle cable routing)

• Transmission lubricant type/quality

• Loose fasteners on sector gear cover

• Worn rod ends, clevis pins, or pivot arm bushings

• Shift selector rail travel

• Worn, broken or damaged internal transmission

To determine if shifting difficulty or problem is caused

by an internal transmission problem, isolate the

transmission by disconnecting the shift cable end from

the transmission bellcrank. Manually select each gear

range at the transmission bellcrank, and test ride

vehicle. If it functions properly, the problem is outside

the transmission.

If transmission problem remains, disassemble

transmission and inspect all gear dogs for wear

(rounding) or damage. Inspect all bearings, circlips,

thrust washers and shafts for wear.
