lt500 shifting problem
I have a 88 quadzilla that jumps out of 4th gear and won't go into 5th. I was hoping somone may have some ideas before I tear into it. 1st thru 3rd work fine. I have been noticing more oil than usual from the trans breather tube but it could be because of the cold weather possibly. I have been riding alot in the snow lately which is probably not to easy on the engine and tranny but a lot of fun! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Thanks in advance for any help.

I dunno. I tore it down and the clutch is definatly toast but the tranny seems fine. I checked everthing per shop manual specs. could a bad clutch cause it to pop out of 4th gear and seem like 5th is neutral. I hate to button it back together and have the same problem but would rather not replace expensive good parts.

that happened with my buddie's warrior and i belive it was cause the engine was moving from a missing motor mount bolt. He had the same exact problem. Am i making sense guys? Ill get the whole story from him he only mentioned it quickly

not it wasnt pulling on the clutch cable I know that. It was somthing about one part being stationary and the other not so it would slip between gears or somthing I havent been able to talk to my friend yet ill let you know when I find out for sure. it only happened to him in 5th and 6th gear

Thanks. I'm obviosly missing somthing I found debris from a ground up spacer in tranny but the shift fork must be bent. It looks like time to make a parts list and go shopping. My quad has been so reliable for so long I guess I'm due. I am replacing the output shaft because the threads are getting bad. Would you replace the gears too or just the forks,spacers,clips, and seals.
