81 CM 400 False Neutrals

[rebel232]

Hi all. Got an 81 CM 400 and am getting a lot of false neutrals and falling out of gear. Wondering what everyones thoughts are. Yes I am hitting the selector fast and hard enough LOL. Cheers.

Transmission shift dogs may be worn. The only way to know for sure is to split the cases and dismantle the gear cluster.

+1 Worn dogs and/or slots on the gears are the most likely culprit. Bent or worn forks are another possibility. Either way it is something you should fix, and you gotta split the cases to fix it.
