2000 Victory V92sc Sportcruiser: stuck in gear or won't shift

Filed Feb 5, 2005 · Transmission · FL

I have a 2000 model polaris victory motorcycle that has a defective transmission. The transmission does not shift properly, especially from 2nd to 3rd gear, often going into a false neutral and causing the engine to race. It will often hang up in gear when downshifting. Transmission jumps out of 3rd gear when shifting up or down through the gears. This creates a very dangerous situation when in heavy traffic. It is getting much worse as the miles accumulate. I believe the transmission will fail; possibly locking up altogether and possibly causing a crash.

I have been having trouble with the transmission on my 2000 victory v92sc for about as long as I have had it (that is 2.5 years). The bike only has 9000 miles on it and I am the original owner. Sometimes the bike will not go into gear and sometimes it will "pop" out of gear. I have gone to my local dealer and they say that they cannot replicate the problem so until there is a major mechanical failure they will do nothing. The dealer I bought it from latter said there was an issue with the transmissions. He said an internal part was notorious for getting loose and causing damage. Instead of tightinging it he recomended that I ride with it like that until it fails and the they will replace the tranny under warranty with the new tranny style parts. I said no and had them tighten it. I wish I would have listened and had the new parts.

Transmission does not shift properly, creates false neutral between second and third gear, also falls back out of gear which causes over reving of motor that could lead to engine failure

I own 2000 polaris victory v92sc that has transmission problems. It does not shift properly, often while shifting from 2nd to third gear it hits a false nuetral causing the motor to rev high rpms ,this has happened many times while pulling into traffic causung some near miss rearenders, . A few times it has dropped out of third gear into 2nd unexpectedly,once while going around a corner causing my wheel to lock up. I bought this bike new in 2003the problems showed up within the first 500 miles,when I reported the problems to my dealer he said its me not the bike,which I find strange because my 23 year old kawasaki never misshifts or drops gears.
