    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Has anyone ever seen the circlip which holds a gear in place on the trans shaft shear, allowing gear the freely float and eventually bind as mine has? Ohh the carnage!

I recently rebuilt the engine, but I'm pretty certain I did not take this apart. The bearings are all good. Case ring holders were in place. I dont ride it that hard. Thinking I had to have screwed this up somehow......
 
Did you ride it after the rebuild? Were you shifter forks lined up properly?
Hope you can find a used tranny. For the funny guys not a used up cross dresser
 
Chef, I rode it about 5000 miles after the rebuild before this happened. I have acquired a loaded inner and outer counter shaft (not touching that tranny thing). Just a bit leery, wonder what I did wrong? I haven't read about this happening, which leads me to believe something I did was not quite right. I did play hell trying to get the secondary gear set contact correct after changing the bearings. Shafts are a PITA
 
felt obligated to post an update...
I figured out where I screwed up! :clap:

When attempting to change the seal in the middle of the counter shaft my inferior cam dog spring compressor slipped. When it did the 4th gear race spun and the tang on the retainer did not align with the gap in the circlip any longer, leaving too much play in the gear and creating undue lateral pressure on the circlip which eventually caused it to shear in half. I didn't catch this until i did it again with the donor countershaft. A piece of m6 x 1 threaded rod and a few other bits later I fabricated a proper compressor and it all went easy as pie! Got the cases back together. Now just have to tear down the top and replace that desperation aftermarket base gasket that leaks like a siv (tore the OEM replacement during assembley last time and had that one overnighted, dumb move).

Good Lord, what a learning curve. I hope I dont have to tear into this motor again for a LONG time
