Duplicate post from k-bikes.com...
I have an '88 K100LT that loves to kick itself out of second gear into neutral. I believe this is a relatively common problem, but the odometer only has 30k miles which seems early for it to be happening.
As I understand it, these are the available options:
Having trouble deciding which one to do because I don't know the costs of each, I don't know where to source a confirmed-good used transmission, and I don't know who does K-bike transmission work in the Los Angeles area. Any advice from folks who have gone through this before? Thanks!

As I understand it, these are the available options:
- Rebuild gearbox
- Acquire a replacement K100 gearbox
- Acquire a replacement gearbox from a paralever bike and go through that upgrade at the same time
