well here is the problem....my second gear is on its way out....i need to fix it....

so what are my options can i fix it myself??? is there someone out there that can do it....

yesterday i clutched up a 2nd gear whoolie and thats when **** went bad.....now when i taper off the gas in 2nd there is a bad sound of metal on metal....only in this gear though...maybe very faintly in third not sure. either way i need a new 2nd gear or entire trans.

any help would be great, im going to look around today but if somone has had this happen to them it would be great to hear what you did. either that or some links to people that can help.

i have heard this is a common prob for the 99 r6 and i just hurried it along with the way i ride. oh yea btw my bike has 14,000 miles on it

 

i'd just sell the P.O.S,,and get a honda

 

kawasaki is the way to go....plus it's alot faster than that yamapoo

 

lmao yamap00,,, i had a 01 zx6-r and liked it alot,, so i have to agree on that one

 

you guys arent helping much i need options.....

is this something that is not feasable to do on my own??? should i just be looking for a new complete engine and trans?? or should i try and fix myself??

 

I thought we talked about this....buy a whole new engine...if not we can always try and fix it...you know I have the shop

 

ya buy a motor.. easy and prob even cheaper.. one u fiqure labor ect.. easier to swap a motor than put trans in

 

so where can i look for a new engine at other than ebay???? any good salvage websites??? ive been looking all morning

there is one on ebay for 600 bucks has 12000 miles on it...but for all i know it could have the same prob mine does?????

god im focked!!!! should have dealt with this in the winta

 

Ray sell you the 250 cheap.

 

sounds to me like a shift fork. and while your in there you should send off the gears to get them under cut. But like everyone is saying, just get a new motor. This summer you should be able to find them cheap in the junk yards curticy of Biker Boyz. LOL
