March 27, 200818 yr Hi - a friend has snapped off the gearchange shaft on his 2002 SY-250 Any advice on what is involved to replace this would be appreciated i.e. is DIY possible? Any additional parts required? Special tools required? Any ideas on parts costs? I am fairly confident with mechanical things, but I don't want to strip it all apart and then have to take it to a dealer in bits because I get stuck
March 27, 200818 yr It's a fairly easy fix. The shaft goes straight through the case, and can be removed by taking off the right side over (the large right side cover). You most likely will have to take the clutch out, then pull the shaft out. I'd get some new seals for it on the shifter side, and you should be good to go. The worst part will be taking the skid plate off and re-installing it. I think it'll have to come off to get the right side cover off. Jon
March 27, 200818 yr Author Thanks for the advice Jon. Do I need any special tools to get the clutch off? Also I guess new gasket etc. would be a good idea.
March 27, 200818 yr a clutch holding tool will be needed to hold the basket if you dont have an airgun, your local yam dealer should have one that you could borrow for a large deposit ! p.s. how did he break the shaft? its not bent as well is it?
