I seem to have a stuck transmission on my 83 - I have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd (and neutral), but will not shift up beyond third. I had this problem about 5 or 6 years ago, and at the time had never done anything about the 2nd gear issue, so I had my local shop rebuild the transmission at that time. Never really learned what was causing the upshift problem at that time. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark.

Today 04-12-08 THE NAVIGATOR and I were out riding with a group on a charity run and I was in 3rd gear going about 45mph and needed more power for a swift maneuver and kicked my big 2nd GEN into 2nd and twisted the throttle, Well the front end came off the ground and shocked the heck out of me and THE NAVIGATOR as well as the guy and his kid on the tour glide classic next to us. I did'nt know the 2nd GEN'S could do that cause there so heavy and would never try to bring her off the ground in fear of ripping the front end out. But she came down gentle and we were off to the races when I hit 3rd gear.. Man this is a sweet bike and the HD riders where impressed they did'nt think a big bike could do that. Thought I would share this info. What a beautiful day it was today.........................................Ron

Almost for certain 2008 is the last 2nd generation, so should we (would you) buy into the last of the 2nd, or wait 'till 2009 or later to be among the first of the new 3rd generation owners? Especially if the 5 year warranty remains with the v-4's, unlike the v-2's... Decisions decisions...

OK, so its a Chrysler Sebring Touring convertable........ I picked it up on Friday and man, the car is great. The previous owner bought it new and added almost all the toys available for it. Color is Satin Jade Pearl with a black cloth top and tan leather and suede heated seats!! 200 HP V-6 I just joined a Sebring club, www.sebringclub.net , and guess what..they refer to the Sebring Convertables as 1st gens, 2nd gens and now, 3rd gens. Weird, huh? Cant believe the coincidence. 1996-2000: 1st gens 2001-2007: 2nd gens 2008: 3rd gens

It's the end of the 3rd quarter and I'm only $1000 short of meeting my investment goals for all of 2007. My annual goals are only 12% gain for the entire year. Now for a strong 4th quarter and I might see 15%. Gone are the days of 45% returns like we had before the dot com bubble. Real estate has been good up until the end of 2006. I sold mine in feburary 07 and glad I did it's been down all year. How many of you manage or monitor your retirement and personal investments?

41K, 99, Rotella T 15W/40 w/1K on it. My clutch will only slip in 3rd, at WOT, going up hill. Now I know I can prevent this by NOT going WOT in 3rd up a hill but... I swear when I first starting reading this and the other Venture board that I read something about "tightening" up the clutch plate by using the washers from sparkplugs (which ones I cannot remember) behind the bolts. This prevented the unwarranted slipped. Unwarranted because the friction plates still had plenty of material but due to design it would slip or something to that affect. Does this sound familiar to anyone!? I like cheap fixes but will dial up Barnett's if I gotta.

Anybody else have the occational 3rd. to 4th. gear miss? It dosen't happen very often. It dosen't slip out of 4th. but rather it just seems to go somewhere in between. I'm just curious if it's my own fault or if it's something mechanical in the tranny I should look into. I plan on taking care of the second gear issue this winter before it becomes a problem and wondered if I should keep an eye out for anything else. This bike is an 84 w/35000 on it. 4000 I put on this spring already. Man I love this bike. When does the second gear usually start to slip out anyway? Thanks in advance for all yur info. Bill
