MY gearbox sometimes clunks really bad when dowshifting, even though the clutch is fully in and i can feel im freewheeling. Im trying to figure out what could cause this but im stumped,

too much play on the shafts?
if you change down a gear a little early going a little to fast for the next gear then they do make a clunk then

Clutch adjusted right? because if its just even engaging just a little, the friction is enough to cause this.
And dont shift down "early" (at to high speed for the gear) even if you got the clutch fully pulled in.
Gearbox might be simply worn out also.
when u change down too early (to high speed for lower gear) what is the clunk noise? i dont do it but curiousOriginally Posted by RS_Patrick

Because the output shaft is turning really fast (driven by the rear wheel wen you hold the clutch) and the gears got trouble catching/engaging each other than and wen they do so its with a lot of force, if you try it really carefully you notice that its not as easy to shift down at really high speed/rpm (dont let the clutch go!)
But in his case i suspect theres just a nice bit of wear on the gearbox and bearings just like with mine, gives a bit of a clunk also especaily down shifting, though it feels like it shifts really smooth.
