Title: 3rd gear downshifts to 2nd at high rpm Post by: gery350 on April 11, 2005, 09:09:00 AM help. my warrior downshifts from the 3rd to second at a high rpm(racing). under a normal load runs fine so it doesnt bother me that much since i hardly ever race. according to the seller they had redone the bottom end. i'm guessing something didnt align right or was not adjusted properly. anyway i'm pretty sure its not a quick fix but was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what is causing this and how to repair. thanks.

Either way you have to split the case to repair it. I'd take it back to where you got the work done and see if they'll do it no charge. -Mark
