    What's the deal?

    My friend has a 1985 200 (not sure which model) and when he shifts to a higher gear, the RPM's get high (it's still getting power) and then the engine catches the gear, and then it drives fine. So I was just wondering what the problem could be. The owner is like a mechanic, and he took it apart, and couldnt find anything wrong with it...So we're pretty stumped, do you guys have any ideas? Thanks a lot.

    First thoughts point to a problem with the auto-clutch - but - second thoughts say it could also be a bent shift fork .

    Yep Wickedfinger is right. Its the clutch not grabbing, it slips then when you let off the throttle is engages again. I am about to replace mine actually, just ease on the throttle and youll be fine. No pinned it of the start!

    ya I agree its definetly the clutch, the same thing happened to my buddies, he'd drive along and it wouldnt go in 4th sometimes. So just take it apart and take a look at it
