I bought a 76 750F and it's got a 92 K engine (from what the owner tells me). It doesn't like 2nd gear at all. I've noticed some hesitation in all gears, more prevelant when accelerating slightly and cruising at a constant speed. Feels like it's ignition related. I haven't gotten around to doing a basic tune up yet with plugs and an oil change. What concerns me most though, is when I shift into 2nd. It goes in easily with no grinding, but when I give it throttle again it bucks pretty good and then it kicks out of 2nd and back into 1st. It'll make a metal-on-metal banging noise a couple times and then pop, 1st gear. I've started to hold 1st and shift directly into 3rd with no problems besides the hesitation.
At first, I thought the hesitation was the cause, but I think it would then happen in all gears. I can't seem to find an answer whether or not there are detents for each gear, like in a car transmission, that keep the tranny in that gear until moved by the mechanism.
Anybody have an idea on what I'm going through?
