[QUOTE="Constant Mesh, post: 298355, member: 615"] You can likely verify if the gear engagement is slipping by doing the following: When you shift into 2nd gear keep the shift pedal raised to its highest position with your toe. Don't release it. This will continue to push the shift fork against the sliding splined gear with the questionable dogs. Don't apply a lot of pressure. You're just trying to sense a kickback in the fork. Now apply maximum engine torque to the transmission. If the three dogs jump out and then reconnect in other openings in the 2nd gear you'll feel it in the shift pedal. Similar to the pulsing one feels in the brake lever or pedal when the ABS operates. Shifting from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 1st are the most interesting events in the transmission. Having to go through that intermediate neutral position makes these shifts a bit more challenging. Neutral is the transmission's 6th gear. [/QUOTE]
