My understanding is that the selector bent which means that it wasn't fully engaging the gears. This has caused damage to 5th gear making it difficult to engage, although once in it doesn't pop out. I also had issues shifting down into 2nd on occasion. When it first started happening I thought it was me not being positive enough with the shifts, turns out it wasn't :-( From what I've been told it may be down to using a quick-shifter.

Fix it up....

Engine ok?

[Chaz]

I'd like to have a look at that! Doesn't sound terminal to me could be an easy fix.

I wouldn't know what I'm looking at to be honest. I've been told that I may need some specialist tools to put the engine back together. The guy looking at it said that he's going to get a proper quote together today so I'll see what he comes back with, fingers crossed.

It could be just the selector claw needs setting up, you can do that without striping the motor.
Ducati boxes are quite robust I would be surprised if you have damaged a gear.

How much do you trust the guy doing the quote & is he a Ducati man? you don't need many special tools to strip a Ducati engine & you may not even have to strip it to repair the box.

+1 to what Chaz says.

+2 on that. Just started rebuilding a stripped a 900 engine. No special tools needed apart from a heavy duty puller for the crank gear but you wouldn't need to remove that.

Give it to Chaz.He knows what hes doing

[pbrown]

Just wondered whether you decided to break it & whether it was worth it. Been thinking about the same with my 1098 rather than trying to px it.

If your striping I might be interested in some of your parts ie quick throttle and rearsets etc
