cb 550 3rd gear
Bryanj:
Thats to fix it, just sump off to find out then that stays off to remove lump.
Only need bottom case off if primary chain ok

So, we removed the sump and found nothing. Removed clutch and all looks good with the mechanism.
It runs and rides great, snicks in and out of all gears just as it should and even runs in 3rd until you put some load on it. Then it slips and sounds as though the gears are hardly meshed so Im thinking a selector fork is not sliding it all the way across. Does that sound feasible? Looks like engine out :'(
Bryanj:
More likely dogs rounded but still engine out.
Remove sump, top breather cover and oil filter to make it easier
Oddjob:
It could be a combination of a worn selector fork, rounded dogs on the 3rd gear and even the corresponding gear it's engaging with.
I think the problem will be 2nd/3rd combination gear, 23431-374-000 and it's engagement gear either 23450-390-000 or 23480-390-000. All still available to buy NOS. If it's the selector fork, I suspect that's the middle one on the drum not the rods and that's hard to find new.

I have a complete 550 gear set in my spares stash so hopefully should be able to sort something out.
