Transmission Specialists
Buddy rode my 220 and now the transmission is sticking between 2nd and 3rd. (yes I'm a dumb ass) Can anyone recommend a quality shop that does KDX transmissions?

Re: Transmission Specialists
Did he run it out of oil or dump it hard enough to damage the shift lever? Can you get it into any other gears other than 2 and 3? Have you noticed any other issues lately (odd sounds from the clutch/tranny, KIPS not working?) If you are competent with hand tools and have the space to do the work it's much cheaper to do it yourself. If not, find a local shop that sells 2T dirtbikes, they'll glady work on it for the hourly shop charge and dealer price on parts. Be ready to drop up to $1k.

Re: Transmission Specialists
Looks like the shaft moved up maybe 3/4" ans there appears to be a leak around the collar ans o-ring. It's rough shifting into 2nd and will not go into 3rd all the time. I get nothing trying to go to 4th or higherbufftester wrote: ↑09:14 pm Jun 15 2020 Did he run it out of oil or dump it hard enough to damage the shift lever?

Re: Transmission Specialists
sounds like possibly a bent shift shaft, or possibly an issue with the shift forks. Unfortunately it will require opening the motor up.
