I had a problem with 3rd gear some time ago. The teeth itself didn't break or come off, the shifting cogs rounded the edges and it would kick itself in and out of 3rd gear.

i just had the same thing happen with paddles at the dunes (don't think it was related to the paddles, just coincidence). i'm in the process of splitting the cases to find out what's wrong. actually, i'm at the dreaded 'removing the swingarm bolt' step of getting the engine out of the frame...
