So I've been having a problem with third gear. When shifting through gears some times 3rd grinds when going from 2nd to 3rd. But when down shifting it grinds every time, 4th to 3rd. Anyone had this problem or know what it could be?
As always thanks for any help! -T |

The trick to rpm matching is to force pop the shifter into neutral and then apply force to shift it into the next gear. Let off the throttle and allow the rpms to slowly drop. As soon as the rpm of the motor hits the speed of that gear, it will kick into the gear, without the clutch. Due to the shape of the gear teeth, it only works if the motor is loosing rpm, so if you downshift you have to first rev the engine in neutral and then apply shifter pressure as the rpms fall (since you are shifting to a lower gear with higher rpm).
Probably best to practice with 3rd to 4th or 4th to 5th until you get smooth at it, they are more forgiving than 3rd or 2nd. Like I said slowly drop the rpms, you dont want to totally lift your foot of the throttle. Even if you are using the clutch you should still develop a feeling for the rpm matching. With the clutch I just know how LONG to lift my foot off the throttle and when to release the clutch pedal to hit the rpms perfectly. I probably do half my shifts in the car without the clutch and 100% of my shifting on my motorcycle without the clutch, its much smoother.
