[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 902364, member: 3828"] Each pair of dogs will engage slightly differently. I don't think that just because it happens to you in one particular gear set that it is [I]necessarily [/I]buggered dogs or a bent shift fork. Are you shifting with or without the clutch? I'm a clutch fanner on the FJR. It seems to respond better to unloading the dogs via the clutch (even when accelerating heavy) rather than trying to use just the throttle to unload them. In spirited acceleration I don't really even back off on the throttle much if at all, just fan the clutch during the shift (aka power shifting). [edit] Since you were talking about bleeding the clutch helping I guess you do use the clutch. If so, never-mind the above. At the risk of heading this thread towards NEPRT land, I also have been using 1/2 pint of STP at each oil change on the recco of some CBA guy out west. Get silky smooth shifts [I]all the time[/I]*. *except the stationary N to 1st, of course. Ker-Chunk! [/QUOTE]
