Sloppy second gear. I swapped the unit out for a K1100 trans. Anyone want this thing? Free but you'll have pay shipping and I'll help with that too; probably $30 to just about anywhere any more than that I'll pay it. I had considered opening it up as a project to get familiar and repair but circumstances dictate I won't have the time or workspace to do it. Just thought I'd put it out there to a brickhead before it makes its way to the salvage yard.

If no one else wants it I could use the gear selector shaft. Snapped mine and it's $150.00 for a new one from BMW. :yow
Currently have Mongrel's spare tranny in there.

Consider it yours Ed. Its drained and ready to go. How to ship? And I don't know if I still have your mailing info. Thanks.
-
It should still be in your messages, but not if you've 'cleaned house'.
-

^ yep, there it is. I'll have it out on the weekend and let you know any tracking etc.
-
Did it go, or did someone else ... ?
(somewhat reluctant to ask on a free item)
-
Sorry Ed. Nope still have it. Got tied up in a famiy matter this past week. All good now, I have it boxed and will mail it out today.
-
Ok, thanks. Let me know the shipping cost.
-
Hi Ed, did the transmission show up? Thanks.
-
Yup, showed up sometime on Friday. I've been so busy I didn't crack the box open until late yesterday afternoon,
Just curious, what was sloppy about 2nd?
-
Maybe sloppy wasn't the most appropriate term. When I was driving around on the bike, it was a b!tch to shift into 2nd. A lot of clunking and grinding. If it did go into 2nd, I would go half a block and it would make a fuss again and either fall out to a false neutral or I'd just put it in 3rd. The other gears seemed fine, I reasoned it was problem with the number 2 gear but I guess it could have been a shifting fork or spring or a shim or gear wheel? I did my best to try to replicate the symptoms in other gears but no, only #2 gave me grief.
