Detent balls/springs worn out or the teeth on the sliding and floating gears on the mainshaft are worn out.
Don379, beastr123, BoxCarKidd and 2 others Thank this. -
Good to know exactly what it is, done bout 60k miles this way (downhill coast, hit bump, low side of high split jumps out on me, never when im putting power to it)
Plan on new trans soon anyway (well, been planning on a new one for about 1.5 years but have just dealt with it

There's a kit for that problem. I had to do my 07 sometime around 750k miles. It was about $1500, IIRC.

How about a severly worn out sliding clutch and/OR the gear set it slides into?Big Road Skateboard and little cat 500 Thank this.

Was a junkyard trans 600k ago, im sure im wasting money but i am not digging inside a trans myself and the shop i use is fine on swapping anything i give him but wont rebuild em himself.
In my opinion, im buying peace of mind when i do the new trans, but you can justify a lot to yourself, so i wont take it badly if you call me an idiot on that
Hammer166 Thanks this.
