    i have a wr 250 83 and im having selector problems. the gearbox seems to be selecting all gears when moving by hand with grips on selector drum. but.............. when i put all back together it only selects 1st N 2nd and 3rd. i have replaced the selector parts and its seriously doing my head in. is there a special way to reasemble the parts eg must it be in gear etc ? any help will be appreciated . thanks all :thumbsup:

    I have rebuilt some older models and I remember that the drum had to be in the neutral detent position. But I think that this is the way you need to put up all transmissions. Make sure that they are in the correct neutral position, with the selector detent in the proper neutral spot and checking by rotating the output shaft by hand and checking to be sure that other than some frictional drag, it is not driving the input shaft.
