    I am having some shifting issues w my XRs. Cig T/S w stellings boxes.
    Some times when I shift it will take a few seconds to KICK in. Some times several seconds. Seems to be worse when they are warm.
    It usually is only one way like reverse on one.

    Any thoughts?

    So you are talking the cable from the shift plate to the Drive? Is it adjustable?

    It is set up using special tools. There are only minor adjustments that can be made.. Inspect it where it leaves the bellows and enters the back side of the drive bellhousing. If the outer core is separating where it meets the brass cable end it needs replacement.

    There are other possible culprits but, this needs to be ruled out.

    Old post I know, but..FYI

    One of my drives was doing the exact same thing. Cable adjustments were fine. Was early in that season, and started to get worse. Pulled the drive apart and replaced the clutch. Definately was the problem, all good since.

    The clutch showed very little signs of damage, but the cone face on one side of the clutch was flatter, not as sharp as the other side. Oil couldnt get out fast enough to let the clutch engage.

    Probabally happens from engaging the drive in gear with to much RPM. Dont think I did it on those drives, as I bought them used earlier that season.
