      Please teach him how to shift. He desperately needs to be taught how to drive. He doesn't understand how power works in a motor and how to keep it under a load... He's just high reving for no reason and doesn't shift into the next gear. For god sakes, please teach the man. lol

    It's possible the reason you're jumping out of second is due to your linkage when you hit heavy bumps the weight of your linkage could be pulling it out of gear I would start there

    • @terryj257
      @terryj257 3 года назад +3

      I agree with you 100%. I thought that the last transmission, looked like it could have been shifted with a push pull cable shift setup. I would see if the "new" trans could use that type. Or do what I have to do with my Kimball J98 Hauler, that pops out of 3rd gear. I made a little holder thing, that holds the shifter and locks in place. It has to be unlatched to take it out of gear. That little band-aid, temporary fix, is going on a to a 13 year fix for me. If you don't know what a Kimball J98 Hauler is. It's worth a Google look up. Mine is rolling on 35's and has a modified 23 hp Briggs and Stratton instead of the 16hp. I call it "Lil Tipsy".

    • @calholli
      @calholli 3 года назад +4

      Yeah.. He should design an "H" cut out with hooks in it, that will lock it into gear, since he never shifts there anyway, and it's more of a transfer case style.

  • @jeeper426

    might need to add a "gear detent" to keep your linkage from jarring and popping you out of 2nd, might slow you slightly when switching between, high, med, and low and/or reverse on the intermediate gearbox (trans), but it'll ensure that you stay in the gear you select

    I think, if you decide to tear the whole thing down to do so, You should get all the frame and suspension parts powdercoated in chrome and the triangle side panels in blue to match the suspension parts. it would suit the buggy amazingly.
