    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Slipping out of 2nd

So when I ripped my 77 gs750 apart this winter one of the things I wanted to address was when I am really on it it used to slip out of 2nd into neurtal, a very bad thing at fwo. I expected to see a worn shifter cam, but the groves look clean, what else could this be??
Thanksa

The most likely thing is the engagement "dogs" on the gears are rounded off, causing the gear to be spit out. A visual inspection is all that is needed. If they are badly rounded off send the trans out and have all the gears undercut. Good used ones are an option if you can locate some....MRE in Florida does really good work .....Billy
 
Possibly a bent shift fork. if it's even slightly bent, the "dogs" aren't engaging completely.
 
Just for giggles, what's the clutch cable adjustment like?

how do I check for bent forks, can I do it visually, or does it need to be more persice
 
GS woes.

GS woes.

GS trannys are known for this issue. The second gear spit out under full load is pretty common. Dogs usually are to blame, anyone found a stronger than stock option, for a bolt in replacement???
