Mine had the same problem before I got it, the guy said he just changed the shift barrel n that was it.

i'd give the shift star and that spring loaded detent wheel a good look first.
my buddies was giving him troubles and we swapped those parts out before tearing into splitting the cases, even though i could not see any visible differences, the parts out of our spare bottom end cured his shifting problems

you mean on the inside of the oil cover?

 

[scotj77]

it is located inside the transmission. you have to split the cases to get to it. but you can get to the shift star behind the clutch cover. the shift star is attached to the head of the shift drum. I would assume you have a screwed up shift fork or your shift star is loose on the shift drum. if you pull the clutch cover it is in the bottom left hand corner of the motor. can't miss it. looks like a star

scotj77, does the blaster in the picture of your sig have flat rear tire?

 

[scotj77]

yes it had almost no air in it for that pic

Ok, that was bugging me (>_>)

Those shift drums or barrels with the star wheels on them like to break under the star wheel. I had 3 break on me. They will shift the trans but only so far b/c there is so much play in the wheel that its just moving past the broken part. IIRC, its only aluminum.

ummm every shift star and drum i have seen on a blaster is steel
