Jep, jackshaft was the word I did not find in my head this morning :-) No concerns, just wondering. Shaft turns nice but as the bearing is not really aligned with the gearbox and the long shaft is certainly haning down at the secondary clutch side I thought it might need some centering. Cranked...

Do I have to align the secondary drive shaft somehow? put in a good used gearbox of a Phazer in my MP and reused the MP's longer drive shaft. Now I just wonder is there is some way to center the position of the bearing towards the secondary variator pulley side?

Did a quick test run this morning but after a short while of joy, the ratcheting reappeared. So now I pulled the sled apart and took the gearbox out. Definetly not a masterpiece of japanese engineering. The castings of my east german made motorcycle are better. As suspected the slightly...

Thanks for the quick reply. Could you point me to what washer it is in the parts diagram, or where I can find the service bulletins? The weird thing is that I hardly use the reverse and did definetly not use it yesterday when ratcheting started. I don't really feel I am losing propulsion ...

Seems like i have a servo/gearbox problem on my MP. Did some 20km through 20cm snow and almost at the end of the trip there was like a ratcheting every now and then. Green D light turns off at the same time. I first checked the chain tension and track tension, but nothing bad there. So I pulled...

New ball bearings purchased as well as an oilon bushing kit for the A arms. But as usual instead of fixing this problem I have to deal with a brand new issue. We had 20cm snow this night and I went for a ride on the tracks around town. It was like gliding on silk :-) First one to use the tracks...

Thanks guys, I found another one for a MP today that I was able to trade with some other sled parts. I am based in Sweden, so shipment from the US might be a bit expensive. I want to keep the broken one (looks like you described it Mooeseman) because I am thinking about upgrading the bearing...

Hi, I have a 2007 MP with a damaged RH Steering knuckle due to bad A Arm ball bearing and negleted maintenance of previous owner. I found a part trader here in Sweden that has a RH Steering knuckle for a 2009 Venture MP and another one for a 2009 Phazer RTX. For some reason the phazer one is...
