My reverse has been working great up util about three days ago when the gears started to clunk and sort of grind when it first goes into reverse. I already adjusted the cable to make sure that the reverse was being pushed in all the way, but that didn't help at all. I am still trying to get it in reverse and now it wont at all, it just kind of clunks inside. I have a feeling the reverse gear is missing teeth or is completely stripped. Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone have any ideas, solutions, or suggestions?
try to put it in reverse with the lever then roll it backward's see if it grinds then if so the yah you need a new gear _________________ 06 joyner 250 sand viper,red metallic..blue clutch spring 17 gram sliders

I had this problem but all it took was adjusting the cable. _________________ Carter GSX150R2-10 Gram Rollers, Stock Spring, Stock Clutch, Bike Speedometer, 12V Power Plug, UNI Filter, Twister Performance Exhaust, Bando Coil, Arctic Cat shocks in the Rear, and a Better battery
After a lot of noise like that you may just want to get in there for a visual any way. You don't want to get out on the trail somewhere and be dead-in-the-water...

I agree with TeamHog...its better to take a look. Have you adjusted the idle lately? When the idle is set to high, it doesn't allow for an easy transition into reverse. _________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have the buggy in your picture, it appears to be a Lance. When I got mine, the reverse clunked and it would grind. I lubed the cable, adjusted it, but it didn't *quite* fix it.
Finally, I read someplace that the external reverse box might be needing a bit more grease. Other things on my buggy led me to believe it had been in a crate for a long long time, so dried out grease in the external reverse was a definite possibility.
I removed 2 bolts from the external reverse box, one pointing up, the other pointing down towards the ground. Using a needle adapter on my grease gun, I shot it full of light duty grease - hoping this would help reactivate the heavier stock grease.
Worked great - super smooth shifts and noiseless reversing. After it starting flinging out the lighter grease, I refilled it with heavy duty wheel bearing type grease and it's been great. _________________ American Sportworks 7150 & Lance Charger 150 --:The Other Buggies:-- "Um yes, these are modified, why?"
