Hi All,
Tried searching but couldn't find any older posts specific to the Voyager XII. My '00 with only 22k miles has been running and riding great. My only concern is how loud the shifter clunks, mostly on upshifts, downshifts seem quieter. The shift feel is fine. The clutch action seems good as well. I just wanted to see what's considered "normal." Could it be the neutral finder making things noisier? I experience the noise shifting 1->2->3->4, shifting into overdrive seems a bit quieter.
Thanks all!
Loud/Clunky sounding shifter?

Re: Loud/Clunky sounding shifter?
There are many posts about this. The XII has straight-cut gears resulting in a decidedly "agricultural" trans. The sound you describe is typical.
