hi for this third gear issue take a look at my gearbox thread i had contacted KEV about..this is what happens when you change up gear with-out using the clutch,im lucky it never broke up inside or it could of been a nasty mess,but to repair this im looking at over $1000 AUS (parts are a lot cheaper in uk) and i will fix it myself and for that money ive found a second hand engine..so another engine is going in
