Hard shifting 1987 TRX250 Fourtrax

Team,

I have 3 Honda TRX250’s, all 1987 models. Two seem to shift smooth, no lurch. The third, which seems to be the best condition of them all, hits hard on all shifts into another gear.

I have adjusted the nut the helps set the shift force over and over, and it either hits really hard, or it will hardly go into gear at all, and has barely enough torque to even get moving.

I changed the oil, ensured the level was correct. No differences.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Brent
