Top of gear and shoulder are rounded off a bit
that is the usual cause if shift forks and drum are okay
pic is not the greatest AND the gear itself was not too too bad
this is my spare gearbox that I have started to undercut and have just been so busy here at work I have not had a chance to finish it

hey @Noon
sorry
but you will never achieve the knowledge here in the forum (like I did in 40 years, for example) - no matter how much you ask/write.
so you only have two (three) possible paths
- trying to do it (with manual) on your own and messing up so much that you run out of money very quickly.
- find a "teacher" (a very experienced mechanic), let him do all the work and give him full concentration! (look over his shoulder).
- start an apprenticeship as a mechanic (2-3 years)

no
the dogs didn´t get undercuted - they got flattened what then occurs ur issue .
My name and expert in the same sentence...lmao
But I will try to help however I may be able to.
Anyone who's had their transmission in pieces, rebuilt it and had it actually work as it should is an expert in my books.....
If it were me, I'd still be on my hands and knees in my garage with a flashlight and magnet trying to find that one little significant piece I dropped....
Thanks man...and I've been there too, lol

Automatic transmissions slip, ours don’t. Your description sounds like it’s jumping out of gear. You didn’t mention anything about the bike, which generation, mileage, stock clutch etc. I’ve read that some clutches have loose bolts that most can only hear while in neutral.

Gen1 transmissions can and do slip,
as do several other motorcycles, it is not uncommon.

Please explain how a ‘standard’ transmission can ‘slip’.
It is during gear engagement, as the gears wear into a bad pattern, then slip, then need undercut to be fixed.
The clutch engagement is fine and unrelated, but the gears themselves are not.
The only known cause aside from abuse would be out of spec parts, or more likely the mix of parts at opposite ends of tolerances, as an abused transmission can still work fine, yet fail in a trailer queen/show bike.
It's not really any different than a gear slipping in a manual transmission in a car or truck.
A manual transmission is what I meant by ‘standard’ transmission and I’ve never experienced or heard of, a manual transmission slipping.
Slip is probably the wrong semantic.
What he means is gears don't engage properly, so second or first goes back into neutral even although the lever is in the right position.

Years ago I remember hearing about a slipping 2nd gear on the GS engine due to a pressed on gear slipping under load.
Maybe the same thing in a Busa engine ?

No, they don't spin
Yes sir, correct.
