tranny issue 400

Anyone having problems with the transmission going into neutral during a shift. Usually happens under load and going for different gear.

That should not happen, Sounds like you have a gear that is worn on the teeth causing the gear to dis-ingauge.

Explain "usually happens under load". When is it under load? Ary you trying to shift under load. Does it happen if you roll off throttle and use clutch?

These machines are not known for any inherent tranny problems. Mine is 8 years old with many thousands of miles on it, and I even still have the original clutch (which all the magazines said was "weak").

It's hard to figure out what you are describing. Is it poping back into neutral from another gear? You say it happens under load.....is it just that your CLUTCH is SLIPPING, and you are just mistaking that for a return to neutral???? If so, clutches are disposable items that have to be replaced now and then anyway........
