1500 vulcan
I understand the 1500 Nomad has a plastic oil gear. Does the regular 1500 vulcan 1996 model also have a pog. I ride the 2005 1600, have no ideal about a 1500. The 1500 also wants to pop out of gear. Would this be an internal shift or, linkage problem, or a gear problem. Positively not any thing out side the trans. Any helpful comments on this, appreciated.

Bent shift fork.
MaKaw went with a steel oil gear starting in 2000. MT

Only the 99 Nomads had the plastic oil gear, all other have a steel gear.

Thank, to all on the oil gear replies. Any one have any ideals about the transmission problem.

It will require pulling the engine and splitting the cases to fix. A better alternative is to find a low cost donor engine. MT

Thats what I did, I found a replacement motor a lot cheaper than I could have fixed my original. Any Nomad motor from 99 to 08 will fit right in.

The only difference is the paint color on the jugs. I put a 1600 Classic engine in my 03 Nomad once upon a time. MT

I've also been told the 2nd gear jumping is due to undercut dogs of the gear itself, that get rounded from wear and cannot stay in place under acceleration. I've been babying my '04 1500 through 2nd gear over a year now and it's getting real tiresome. I'm probably looking at an engine swap myself. Does anyone know if later years may have a more robust gear design?

It is the shift fork. I've opened up several of these and every time it was a bent shift fork. The forks are made out of a soft pot metal, it does not take much to bend one. Once it is bent, ever so slightly, it keeps going until it eventually breaks. MT

Was the POG a recall issue?

MaKaw did the replacement for a while for free but is not doing it any longer for free. People have bought the steel gear and replaced it themselves.

Man if I was in Florida I'd be all over you to help me for pay or just do the whole thing for hire. I have no great desire to bust into it myself, too worried I'll get something wrong in the reassembly and it'll never run right again.

NO IT WON'T. At this point all we know is that it's a 1996 model. We still don't know Dual Carb(BUBF) or Classic. Single Carb engines do not easily interchange with Dual Carb. Single stator Classic engines do not easily interchange with Dual Stator Classic engines.
