As some of you know my trip to dragonmans was an epic disaster as far as my rocket was concerned.
I'm very lucky i did not wreck, i had the rear wheel lock up twice on the road at the end!
I always had 2nd gear pop out issue, so YOLO ill just skip 2nd. FINE. rode her for about 5K miles like that, no biggy
On a trip to dragonmans i got off the highway and the trans had an epic failure. I could not get into any gear but 1st and 5th. I limped it home after dragonmans. i found i was able to get it from 1snt into 2nd but i had to pop it towards 3rd and then back DOWN into 2nd and HOLD the shifter physically down, get up to 55mph and shift into 5th skipping 3rd and 4th. BTW if this ever happens to you, JUST CALL A TOW TRUCK OR TRAILER IT HOME.
some times it would sound like metal marbles jumping around THOUGH THE EARPLUGS AND HELMET AT 70MPH, not a wise idea
It started slipping INSTANTLY when this happened, before it started NO SLIPPING AT ALL. it must be so much trash in the oil that its in between the clutch holding it apart a bit?
SO having the rocket out of commission has be supper bummed out more than normal.
i remember you all telling me about a transmission specialist for the rocket that can back cut the dogs?
My question is, how much labor to pull the trans out? do i need to drop the engine out? can i do it in place? what options are out there to fix the wear on the forks? I want to do all the work myself and send out parts to whomever to have machine work done. Can i just drop the pan and what not, drop the trans out and see what needs to be ordered? Is there a kit? I'm not made of $ but im happy to pay for what needs to be upgraded.
Im supper bummed out hard, my BDAY is in a few days and i was planning on a ride on her but i guess ill just ride my ninja!
I'm sure when i drop the pan its going to have some supper bad carnage in there. Do you think i should flush the engine or anything? how much trash can go though? replace the oil pump???
If i have to pull the engine out its going to have to wait till winter or something later on.
