ricksrj58 273 #1 Posted June 20, 2011 ok before i pop the forks out, can the gear on the bottom of the cluster be flipped over since the teeth on top are worn away? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racinfool40 202 #2 Posted June 20, 2011 That's your input shaft it is suppose to be like that. The Gear right above it on the shift fork should slide right over the top of the input gear and mesch together...I'd finish pulling it all apart and check things from there, After a good cleaning.. :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,910 #7 Posted June 20, 2011 You have some cleaning to do. If you do not have gunk tank...mineral spirits works great...use some bearing grease in the bearings after they are cleaned...not too much...just enough to keep the needle bearings in place when you put it back together. Let us know. :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
