250 big red slips in second gear under load

[skaught]

Hello Everyone. Im new to this site.
I have a 1985 250 big red and it jumps out of second gear when under load and pops back in hard. Does anyone know if this is the clutch or something worse?

if it's jumping out of gear the dawgs that lock the gears together are probably worn.it could also be a bent or worn shift for but that will usaully affect more than one gear. Either way it's time to split the cases and do some tranny work

It works ok till you climb a hill or step on her.. So do i have too take the side cover off or spit the whole engine, and how much do you think this will cost or is it worth it?Thank you for your time.

Also i was just wondering if the clutch would do this aswell..Thanks
