2000 Yamaha Big Bear lots of play in shifter

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, Thanks for looking at my post. I haven't had a lot of experience with problems like this before, so I'm a little bit at a loss. The Quad was really hard to shift, (the dirty carb leaking gas making it idle high didn't help either). The only Idea I have would be is that the torsion spring is worn out, and that there is a normal parameter for how much it should move when those two arms of the shift shaft assembly spread apart.  That's my thought. Maybe someone who has more knowledge then me can let me know if i'm on the right track 😀

Take the shifter mechanism out of the side case and put it in the engine.  The hooked piece at the top of the shifter should grab those pins on the star shaped piece when you operate the shifter.  That star shape piece is screwed to the shift drum.

The torsion spring at the bottom of the mechanism looks fine.  They never wear out and rarely break.  When you put the shifter mechanism in the engine, there's a pin that fits between the 2 legs of the spring.
