Okay so I race this Vipor, he beats me like he should. But I miss 3rd bad! So Im driving back home, and all of the sudden I try to get it into 6th have a lil problem doing it, then its fine...But then when I take it out of 6th to 5th I feel like a rough feeling, not grinding but its like not smooth anymore.....

Help me out guys....What do you think it is?

 

Sounds like a badly bent knorkle pin. I think Honda issued a TSB on that late last year. Be careful, a sheered knorkle pin can result in complete loss of ability to shift either up or down into 5th gear.

 

Do u know the TSB on that by chance or anyone else?

You've never heard of a knorkle pin? It's very similar to a sheer pin in the old Evinrude outboard motors. It was designed to break if the prop encountered an obstuction, saving the transmission/driveshaft from any trauma.

 

that sucks man.. you didn't miss 3rd and go into 1st did you? if you didnt its probably the knorkle pin thing

 

K, no i didnt even engage 3rd, grinded it! I know stupid, but i was concentrating on the Viper so damn hard i let the clutch out before it engaged the gear! Went to the Honda Dealership today and scheduled for that fix from the TSB on the first to second gear problem and there gonna fix the other problem to, they thinks its a bent fork of somehting that also has to do with the Syncros since there all pretty close together, either this is BS or not, doesnt really matter Honda's fixing it regardless.
