just got at 96 300ex with transmission problems. 3rd gear is the worst. it slips back into 2nd or false neutral. 1st gear skips under hard accel. i know i will have to split the cases but just wondering what it might be... or if i can swap out complete bottom ends with a 250x i would prefer kick start anyway.

You could swap out the bottom end with a 250x but then you would have a 250x not a 300ex. The 250's motor has a shorter stroke than the 300 making it 249cc. There is a guy on here selling a 288cc 250x motor that would be prety nice.If you get a bottom end I would look for a good 300ex bottom end.

before you split the case I would check the rachet pawl. Usually when it has a false neutral theres a good chance the rachet pawl is the problem. It could also be the drum or a fork.

I got a good bottom end for a 250x if your interested. I will let it go cheap.

Studster is correct...if you swap out the bottom you will have a 250x. You will also need a 250X CDI. Everything else will work.

Let me know if your interested and I'll shoot you a price on both.....real cheap.
