Well, here's one for you all. The newly - rehabilitated Black Shadow transmission was fine until a few weeks ago, when it started to experience the following issue: when shifting into 4th, the shift mechanism registered a firm 'click' into gear, however there is no gear engagement and a clicking noise emanates from the tranny, similar but not identical to the noise generated by a missed shift. The engine was rebuilt by an acknowledged expert in the feld, so one may assume with some degree of confidence that the gears, shifting mechanism, etc, are in first - class condition.
The other three gears engage fine, and stay engaged when running. The tranny was fine, engaged firmly in all four gears, up until this started to occur.
Any advice? I've been twiddling with the shifting linkage as per the Rider's Handbook, but to no avail.
Happy motoring, by the way! ... This year has been a lousy one for biking in Toronto, what with rain every day or so; hard, driving rain with lightning, thunder and all the accessories..... Monsoon weather by any other name!
