84" 200s trans issue maybe

[hafdeadx]

i was riding today and i got out onto the roadway 1st gear fine 2nd gear fine 3rd gear not so much it, slipped for 2-4 seconds then decided to grab and the same with the 4th gear. i got out of it and sctatched my head lit a smoke and thought wtf....

so is it the clutch slipping, pressure plates or the centrif.not grabbing right,
or the trans may be going? if possible.

any thoughts, coments suggestions would be appreciated

Sounds like its time for clutch plates . You didn't put synthetic oil in it did you ?

[hafdeadx]

NO on the synthetic oil, but for sake of arguement and stupidity. what harm would syn, oil do?

[shortline10]

It will make the clutch slip , synthetic oils arn't designed for wet clutch set ups . I would try changing the oil first and see if that helps .

but other than the syn oil, i shoukd try changing the clutch plates and springs?

[shortline10]

Yep it cant hurt . I have a few helm & son clutch kits with heavy duty springs if you need one .

but other than the syn oil, i shoukd try changing the clutch plates and springs?

Barnett are good but the ebc are just ok IMO . I would take 30.00 shipped for the kit .

update: finally got to changing out the clutch and plates. quite simple. thanks shortline10 for the clutch. but im still havein the same problem.. it slips in the beginning of 3rd 4th 5th but only when i on it. when i tread lightly it operates great. just seems like the clutch is not engaging fast enough or hell im not sure,,, scratching my head any body got any other suggestions
