89 Venture Royale shifting

[bart1963]

Hello all,

I've just gotten my 89 Venture Royale back from the shop for a new clutch install. Had it running for a few days and noticed a hard (or harder than normal) shifting around town. Was downshifting the other day and got down to 3rd and went to downshift to 2nd and was completely without a gear. No upshift, no downshift. Managed to get it off the road and found that the gear selector on the dash would show going into a gear, but when my foot left the pedal, it would not stay into gear. Managed to hold it up (shifter) to get into 4 and after getting it moving a holding my foot up on the pedal, it would stay in gear and made it home. Now, in the driveway, it won't go into gear without a considerable amount of force, and some clunking noises coming from the gearbox. I do not think that it was this way before the clutch replacement. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Brett

Could be air in the hydrolics. Maybe try to bleed the system.

So I wonder is it an 89 first gen or 99 second gen?
