Hi guys I am a new guy that posted up a couple months ago on here that I just picked up a blaster really cheap that has some transmission issues. It started popping out of gear then the gear shifter locked up, before I bought it. So today I got the motor off and cleaned up real good. First thing I noticed is when I drained the transmission oil it smelled terrible, I'm not sure how much oil it's supposed to have but I figure I drained a quart or maybe a little less. I got the motor up on the work bench and was able to get the gear shifter freed up. Then I pulled the side cover off and it has lots of build up in the bottom that looks to be like clutch debris I am guessing. I started inspecting things in there and noticed the little arm with the roller that engages the shift star is sitting below the shift star, like it is not aligned properly. Does anybody know what would cause this? That is all the farther I got with it for today, but I am thinking that's where the shifting problem must be. I just need to know what caused it so I can correct it. Has anybody else had this happen to them? Thanks for any advise.
