82 gs1100e pops out of second

[kevin gs1100e]

82 gs1100e pops out of second BUT ONLY at like 8500 rpm, it holds till just before redline, then pops out not all the time but fairly often.

also will go to neutral when down shifting to 2ng at higher rpms.


this happens at random and happens on up shift whether i use clutch or not.

worn engagement dogs, or possible bent shift fork.

I agree - rounded dogs or bent selector fork. Personally I wouldn't ride it at that high rpm until it gets fixed. Too easy to wing it way past redline if it pops out of gear.

Ditto, bent shift forks or worn dogs or both. Both normally caused by lots of hard shifting.

If your 3 dogs are worn just a little and the fork tips are worn too then that add's up against you and and you don't get full engagement. Don't forget that if the dogs are worn out then the dogears are worn too, so that's two gears needing replacement just to fix that gear. Heck even the pins on the shifting forks can wear on the shifting drum.

I find it odd that it only happens at 8.5K. Try keeping pressure on the shifter while in 2nd gear and see if it still pops out. Also check the mickeymouse linkage, I've never like it. You can also pull the clutch cover off and check part of the shifting drum assy.

Id send the transmission to Fast By Gast Grand Island N.Y. and have it undercut no need to buy new gears
