i think i burned up 3 gear in my tranny how do u tell without taking it apart in 3rd gear when going slow its ok but when a lil speed it almost feels like the chain is slipping but its not and the foot pegs are popping bad any ideas

 

well on my old 185s the whole trany was fried how i could tell was the shop told me and just about every gear it wouldnt go any where and then sometimes it would catch just skip thrid gear and move to fourth lol

 

yea thats wat ive been doing yea mines not that bad i can go like 5 miles an hour and its fine but when i start to give it gas it just goes crazy and pops little wheelies lol because it catches every one rotation yea but hears the thing people told me also my tires arnt lined up from when i tighten my chain because you pull the tires back and ave had people say its the tranny and i cant find any shop who will look at it they all tell me this is a 4 wheeler shop not 3

 

When your driving 5 miles an hour, why are you in 3rd gear?

Anyway, when you say it feels like its slipping, does it feel like the chain is jumping teeth type thing, or a smoother slip like a clutch is slipping, because you will notice a clutch slipping more in the higher gears.

I don't understand how your tires can be out of alignment, its a solid hub, on a solid axle to a solid frame. Unless you have beaten the trike or the previous owner has, the axle is possibly bent giving the feeling its out of alignment, but otherwise, theres no alignment. Theres a chain tightening nut and bolt behind the axle housing, thats about it.

Best of luck

 

on my trike to tighten up the chain you loosen the back 4 lock nuts that are by the bearing cage and you pull the tires and the axle back and we didnt pull them evenly but it is the third gear we put it up on a stand its not the chain i burnt it up riding all day not noing i had a oil leak at these sand tracks and it fried so i just skip gears for now and now no matter how fast im goin it slipps i was only going that fast just to see what it was slipping
