I had gotten my blaster back from the shop a couple of mouths ago. It was running really good then I took it to the track one day. That day it was very muddy and I think that the mud did something to the transmission. But now I will get stuck in a gear. Sometimes its 2nd, 3rd or 4th. But it is really making me mad because I put lots of time into fixing it up. If somebody could help that would be great.

may be time to pull the clutch cover and inspect the shift shaft, flange, the springs that return it to it's nuetral position, the shift star and it's wheel/detent thingy that keeps it in gear

seeing the shifting action is much easier with the clutch pack removed, and you'll need to be turning the output shaft (engine sprocket) for it to go thru the gears with the engine not running, this can be done with chain removed and turning the sprocket, or up on jack and turning the wheels.

the shift flange thingy is returned to it's nuetral position by 2 small springs on the flange near the shift star, if it doesn't return to this nuetral position, it will not shift to the next gear, this can be tested by physically returning the shifter to it's nuetral position with your foot, (down if shifting up, or up for down shifting) then it should shift to the next gear.
if thats the case, you can check the 2 small straight springs are hooked around the inside of the flange.
in my case a used replacement shift shaft was the fix, check on here or ebay.
(all references above to "nuetral position" refers to the position the shift shaft/detent sit normally, not nuetral of the trans gears)


the KOR engine assembly vids show how this all installs........
