It don't rain, IT POURS !!!
I am one p!ssed off Aussie. Have a look why...
All I did was gently pop it into 1st and the gear lever hit the ground. I don't know how the hell it got that weak.
I am soooo annoyed because I'm guessing the whole engine must be pulled so the cases can be split, right ?? There goes another head gasket and probably around $700AU or so have the bottom end fixed.
Nothing at all ever goes to $#@%$# plan........
$#%! YOU Murphy !!!

I'm not really sure on the H series KDX's Trev but on the E series I believe you can replace the shift shaft without splitting the engine cases. I think the H bottom end is pretty much the same so you should be in good shape.
Don't you have a manual to look at?

I know for a fact that you can get to it trough the right hand side. Why? because I've had mine out. You just have to remove the right hand cover, clutch assembly, and maybe the kickstarter mechanism or gears... I don't exactly remember. But none the less it wasn't that big of an ordeal.

It's a good idea to replace the case seal around the shaft when you swap it.
<edit> Oh, and since your pic was so good, It looks to me like the top of the shaft had a cut in it for a while before it failed. there is a grey spot on the upper left that looks like an old crack, and the top of the shaft in general looks grooved as though something wore across it. Chain maybe? maybe whoever had the bike before used a very large sprocket , or left the chain loose.

you definitley can do it its an easy fix if youve ever changed a clutch basket before this is a step futher and easy replace that seal as suggested. "you do not have to pull the engine. just the kicker rear brake pedal, side case and clutch basket assembly its right there behind it pull it out put in new one exactly as old one came out and your back in motion.

Gees Trev, Check the manual. You do have one right?
Even I could change out the clutch. Even installed the auto clutch. Check my thread on that and you will see tons of photos taking the clutch out. Stop there and reverse to reinstall. Unless you decide now is the time to get an auto clutch that is.
Also, photos of taking the clutch apart in my gallery.

'Yep' to what ??Indawoods wrote:Yep...
What I had to do was remove the centre bearing etc to get to the big nut underneath.
Sure I do, it was just locked down under the house in my garage. I have a 110db alarm that chirps as I punch in the code and it was late.skipro3 wrote:Gees Trev, Check the manual. You do have one right?

Cool. To clarify, it's not the four bolts that need to be removed to get the clutch basket out, it requires the centre bearing to be removed and the large nut behind it to be removed. The clutch then comes out, easy as pie...
It was actually the whole assembley I needed out, not just replacing clutch plates etc.

There is slight notching on the fingers but I don't have the funds to get anymore parts. The clutch worked perfectly before the gear shaft failure so I think I will leave it be until I have more cash.

I was thinking I will file the fingers in a few months when I have the spare money to do the clutch. I just don't want to pull it apart and then not be able to afford to put it back together.
