Savage is not doing wheelies anymore or shifting

You are not giving us much to go on. Lol but if its running good and doesn't seem broken. The first to check is the slipper clutch. Check or replace the pad, or if the pad is good, just tighten it down. Hope this helps.
 
I just replaced the slipper ran great for a day then did a wheelie all the sudden goes 5 runs high rpms bit won't shift cause it won't reach that speed
 
If the power is there and it's not getting past the transmission then I would inspect the screw shafts, set pins, it's common for those to break.
 
Sounds to me like the slipper is too loose, but that's just a guess as I can't really make out what you're saying the problem is without any grammar or punctuation involved.
 
It has plenty of power the pand is worn but I only ran it 2 times and the metal plate and shaft it screws to get to hot to touch and it won't friggen shift cause it won't get enough speed anly goes like 10

Pad is worn
 
Sorry I was doing a rig pull. I believe it is, but the springs work to retain the metal piece that grabs second gear, it's only under RPM that the spring/springs release.
 
That finger is loose in there if I just shake it the funger will flip out and grap 2nd
 
Interesting are you by chance missing the grub screw that adjusts the the pressure of that finger?

Sorry, I don't have a savage transmission to work on with you, but I never noticed if shaking made this happen to any of my clutch holders.
 
Ok so tight is tension on the finger. Loose is less how often should the slipper pad go bad? Does it depend on conditions? I just replaced a stripped spur bought another cheapo had to order a adapter for the steel gear

The steel has two pads one on the inside and one on the outside
