Check primary chain for being to loose

SOURCE: Loud Downshift

By "loud" I assume you are talking about the "clunk" when you engage a lower (or higher) gear. Does the bike try to creep forward when you are in gear with the clutch disengaged? If it does, then you need to adjust the clutch cable. If you have one of those bogus braided cables, then the adjustment is something you much watch very closely. Forgive me, but if you are shifting down at to high a speed, you are going to hear some loud clunks as the gears are turning at very different speeds. The trans on your bike is a very well designed item and noise when shifting most likely does not mean problems.

SOURCE: noise in trans or in primary chain

It sounds like the primary drive chain is loose. The way I adjust mine is to take off the upper left inspection cover, start the bike and slowly tighten the adjuster until it starts to wine, then back off until it stops. Rev it slowly and listen for a wine. No wine good to go.

Sounds like you may have lost your drive gear key

Downshifting a 10 gear semi

Let the throttle off just a little bit to allow the shift lever to slide out of gear and then raise the engine rpm about two hundred rpm to match the next lower gear. If you get the rpms matched, the shift lever will slide smoothly into the next lower gear.

Shifting high rpm

You may have a throttle position sensor starting to act up. That's the system anyway. The unfortunate thing is, you have to replace the entire throttle body. Unlike most cars, it's not removable. On the fan....do you mean it's constantly loud like an airplane or big rig?

When I start the car in the morning the engine turn slow and make a loud metal on metal noise and continue making a noise which is louder when I put the ac on but disappear car is running or keep on gas...

IT appears that you have a problem with the starter pinion over ride clutch or ring gear teeth. I would pull the starter and have the starter motor bench tested and check the condition of the teeth on the ring gear on the flywheel

1989 pathfinder transmission 3spd w/ overdrive works great when first started, then downshifting starts way early, started after alternater wentbad

Do you mean upshifting starts way early? Going from 2nd to 3rd in other words?
Ireally don't know your transmission,but the alternator problem might've possibly spiked and hurt your shifting solenoids in the ******. don-ohio (:^)

When I go at about 40miles(speed ) it's a loud the gears don't stick but the higher the speed the louder it get's need to kind of know what to tell a mechanic is to where to start to look.I doesn't

I would suspect it is a wheel bearing issue, if it sounds similar to a baseball card in the spokes of a bicycle, stays somewhat same pitch just louder with speed that is where I would look. Does noise go away or change when making turns?

You may want to check the altenator and commpresor to see if the bearings are good one way i do it is while its running i take WD-40 and spray a little rite around the back of the pulley and when you spray the bad one the squeeling will stop. Hope this helped.

Loud Downshift

My 2004 Sporty shift pedal is "notchy" especially when cold (allow 20-30 sec. of idle after starting) to allow time for oil to wet the shift forks and gear assemblies before shifting into first driving off. Also when down shifting, I usually do NOT use engine/trans gear braking on the street to save wear and tear on the clutch and running gear...brake pads are a lot easier (and cheaper) to replace over the long haul
