Hi all, new member here. For the record I have searched threads and haven't found my same problem, sorry if wrong. I have longed for a vmax and found one 1986, that needed work, (barely running). I went through carbs and is now running well. Test drive gave bad results. I was told that an amateur put a barnett clutch in it and it seems firm and working properly. Starting out in first gear under some load seems to jump and catch rather hard. I'm thinking not the clutch install. second gear through fifth no problem, sometimes hard to get neutral, and sometimes it will miss third when hammering on it. So far I have read about the shift segment, back cut gears. I am hoping not to have to take motor out, don't have the space. I'm leaning toward the fact that the trans. can do in 1st what the common prob. is in 2nd. And have to replace the gears/trans. Please help, Thanks, Wayne
