Hi,

New member here, but an old rider !

My '75 DT-250 jumps out of 3rd gear

on acceleration. A Yamaha dealer

told me if he "remembered correctly,

there was some sort of detent for

adjustment" behind the cover, but

wasn't positive. I know I need a

new clutch, as I am nearly maxxed

on adjustment. But I would think that

once it's in gear it shouldn't pop

out, in spite of the clutch issue ?

Can anyone shed any light or suggestions?

I have recently moved and don't have

the web at home yet, so doing a little

Saturday research at work. Will be here

for another 5 hours, would really appreciate

any help.

Thanks in advance.

There is a detent but its just to control the actual movement of the selector drum. If its jumping out under acceleration then its the torque forcing the gear out of position and that can only happen if the dogs are worn.

Sorry i can't give you a better answer , if there is anything that may help blackhat will know...

Thank You for the quick reply Cynic,

I was afraid of that....!
