[QUOTE="rPGoatBoy, post: 1334038, member: 27237"] If it's not jumping out of gear, I don't see a need to split the engine cases for a repair, at the very least without trying other things first. Have you tried preloading the shift lever before pulling the clutch in? Perhaps a shift additive? There was a design change in the transmission between Gen 1 --> '07 to the '08 model year, but it wasn't significant. Yamaha added to the number of dogs and pockets on the sides of that 3-4 cluster. I did have a picture somewhere, but not online at the moment. That change could've made the shift a smoother shift between 3 and 4, but as someone who replaced the transmission of his '06 with an '08, I hardly noticed a difference. My problem was with 2nd gear jumping out, so I split my case for a different reason, but the repair would essentially be the same. This should probably be it's own thread, there have been a number of case splittings since this five year old thread came about. [/QUOTE]
