tranny top----need help
i just went through my tranny, new bearings, one new gear and some good used ones. everything is back together except the top. i have the gears in the neutral position and the shift forks also in the neut. position. i line up the forks and the grooves in the gears, but the forks don't want to go down in the grooves. i'm sure there is nothing wrong with the forks or gears, but it seems that i'm not lining something up right. any suggestions????

Re: tranny top----need help
Can you post a photo of the gears in the neutral position, and a photo of the forks in the neutral position?

Re: tranny top----need help
If ether one of the shifting forks are bent slightly they won't engage the slots. I have seen this problem before during club seminars where we rebuilt about 20 towers each time. The forks can become bent due to aggressive shifting and remain serviceable until the tower is removed and then they spring out of position.
I made a simple tool to check alignment before we have a bunch of forks welded up and milled for a seminar. Tom Endy |

Re: tranny top----need help
the shift lever is sitting between both fork notches and the fork rods are in the neutral detent. as stated above, input ain't connected to the output....neutral.i am lining up the forks with the gear groves, they just don't want to drop in.
one post mentioned bent forks, that is a possibility. what is the method, or home made tool for checking them? |
