Assembling transmission and I cannot get it to shift
yeomans:
Hey Mike, A few thoughts,
If you replaced your circlips on the trans is it possible that a gear may have gotten flipped around during assembly ?
Is the dowel pin on your shift drum still there? Just a thought, if its missing you might not have the drum matched up right on either side of the case.
You are sure all of your forks are sitting correctly in their grooves and nothing is jumping loose on you?
What year is your crankcase, what year is the trans from?

The reason I mentioned it is because it happend to me
Mike Grant:
The crankcase is an 87. The transmission was 86 or 87.......he never 100% confirmed with me
The transmission is as delivered to me and I just installed a new pair of roller bearing on both shafts. The only gears that I installed would be high gear and low gear on the output shaft and second gear input. New Circlips were used
Mike Grant:
Vagassasson. I passed this information onto the guy who is looking at my engine for me know........appreciate the lead

Hey mike I used the wrong picture on my previous comments that was the tranny picture for my 98 kx500.I was comparing the 2 side by side and got them mixed up. Here is the 87 diagram.don't know if it can cause the same issue in your year or not. Sorry for the mix up
