I'm really startin to get angry with my maxx at this point. I can't get it to shift for anything I've adjusted the shift point replaced the drive hub all pf that and it syill wont shift idk what the deal is anyone got any suggestions
 
Which tarnny, black or grey? If the black, are you sure you installed the drive hub/clutch correctly. If installed backwards on the shaft it will never shift.

+2 on what SnookMan is saying... But if you want to releve alot of your hassles my MAXX had a 2-speed tranny last summer I kept pukeing gear's so I got tired of R/R gears all the time. I decided to put in a FOC "Forward Only Conversion" & wow I am so so happy I did I have not had a tranny problem ever since... Do yourself a favor & go the FOC route....

Putting a FOC in wont help with shifting. Make sure you check what snook said, also make sure you are not over adjusting the shift point out of frustration. Are you sure its not stuck in second gear?
 
I got it shifting right. After taking it apart like 4 more times and exhausting everything i possible could i got it shifting. ended up the spring just needed to be worked some i manually pulled the arm out myself like 6 or 7 times and put it back in and it shifted now its fine tuned and doing fine. @ snook i thought maybe i had put it in upside down but then realized i couldnt have bc of the notch in the gear for the adjustment.
