Here are some common reasons why your machine may be hard to shift.
- Faulty Needle Bearing in the Primary Clutch: If the needle bearing is worn or dirty, it can cause shifting problems. Make sure to clean or replace it as needed.
- Belt Alignment Issues: Misaligned belts can lead to unwanted spinning of the secondary clutch, causing hard shifting and excessive belt wear. Consider our Drift mod, which allows the secondary clutch to self-align and resolve these issues.
- Primary Clutch Not Fully Disengaging: Check for any broken components and ensure your clutches are thoroughly cleaned. P-drive owners should refer to the section below for specific guidance.

If you've checked your primary bearing and belt alignment but still face issues, consider using the Ibexx ShiftSpring. This solution maintains your original engagement while effectively solving hard-to-shift problems, without the need to send in your clutches in or install a stiffer spring.
