warrior 350 gear/shifting problem

[streetswepa]

question i was out last night tearing her up in the snow, but started to have an issue well shifting, its seems no matter what gear i choose from time to time it just goes into neutral, like 1st and 2nd are okay"most of the time" but say i shift up into fourth it just goes into neutral, and if i upshift again it will go into 5th gear?
but then next time fourth will work but if i upshift to 5th it goes into neutral, but if i upshift again it goes into 6th, and if i down shift sometimes it does the same thing,
anyone no what might be the problem here? when i got home i tryed just rocking the quad back and fourth and shifting by hand and it would go into neutral from time to time but usually in the 4th and 5th gears?

Probably a screwed up shift fork. You'll likely need to crack open the case and see.

I kinda had that same problem and It pretty much went away when I switched to a direct shifter from a 2000 yz250, I think the stock shifter linkage just gets to sloppy after awhile and causes you to miss shift. It could also be a bent shifter fork so Its up to you what to look at first I guess.

thanks guys think i'll go with a direct shifter first see what happens

question did you get a aluminum yz250 shifter? what all did you have to do, seems all i can find fromm 99 up for yz shifters in aluminum

well picked up a yz shifter installed it and no difference, but well screwing with it today i now notice even if i'm in 1st the gear shifter will still make a clicking sound when i push down like i'm still down shifting but it's in first?

I think mines does that too and everything's perfect.

ya might have always done it not positive, just think i remeber it never did before

Adjust you reverse lever. If it isn't clicked in, your quad will not go into gear, and you will hear a clicking noise when you shift to 1st.
