It's as if you're accelerating and popping the clutch in and out. If you accelerate slowly, everything is fine. However once you get on it it jumps in and out of first gear. Someone told me that first gear might have a couple of teeth chipped. So if you accelerate smoothly you won't feel anything, but if there is alot of torque the gear will slip. of torque the gear will slip. This only happens in first, if you red-line it in second there's no problem. Has anyone ever had this problem? Duane Takahashi
