The way the shift fork fits in the quadrant, 3rd gear is barely held in. In other words, it wouldn't take a lot of hear for it to pop in/out of gear like it was doing.

And I think that some of the accelerated wear may be from riding in colder than normal temperatures. I hadn't expected transmission issues as there is almost none mentioned in the forums. Especially with the change to the Austrian made gears.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-16695240813997578852017-08-19T09:51:40.405-08:002017-08-19T09:51:40.405-08:00That looks like a fun, dirty mess you have there. ...That looks like a fun, dirty mess you have there. Are the gears pressed on, or are they easily removable. When I went into Petunia's it was easy until the need to replace the pressed on gears and I wasn't willing to chance doing that myself.
