    It not going into gear could be a variety of things. Worn selector forks, bearings, clutch assembly, clutch springs.

    Sounds to me like the clutch isn't disengaging.

    Again what I said earlier will tell you it is clutch disengagement problem.

    Never heard of a worn basket on a dt before though. Maybe if it ran with no oil. My brother ran his dt gearbox on coolant and oil with no problems. So they are pretty well engineered.

      I replaced mine as I thought they were the cause of a problem I had. Turned out they were fine and didn't have any effect on it. But worth a try for you I suppose!

          Do you have a picture of your clutch basket handy, just to rule that out?

              Push rods and ball bearing. Sounds far fetched to me

                        NORFE used to chop up some M6 bolts and use as a bearing....

                        Not sayinf that's good practice but was good enough for him.

                            @Ricky That doesn't look great lol.

                            You can get the ball bearings off eBay for next to nothing..

                              @Calum I've ordered 1 from yambits I was playing with the bearing idea as there can't be any difference surely

                                I should not have thought so, but as said the correct ball can be had off eBay.

                                  Probably a daft question but with the bike off and my clutch pulled in should it freewheel or turn the engine over slightly when pushing it

                                    Very normal for it to turn the engine.

                                      @Mightyman so it wouldn't be normal if it didn't

                                        Well in theory it shouldn't.. but I've found they always do.

                                          Yeb, cold oil is thicker and "sticks" more, so the clutch stil drags a bit.
