Shifting Difficulty 2Nd=>3Rd

[phoenixfire]

Hi All,

Can anyone offer some advice on what might be causing my shifting issues?

When shifting quickly between 2nd and 3rd gear I have a hard time getting it to 3rd. If I'm just cruising along and not trying to shift fast it goes into 3rd fine.

The exact order and symptoms are this:

From the top of 2nd gear, pull in the clutch

shift to 3rd

release clutch and hear the engine revving at the top of 2nd.

I changed the clutch fluid last season about 6,000 kms ago.

The chain and sprocket are 1 &1/2 seasons old (about 14,000 kms).

Oil changed about a month ago (1,500kms)

It's a '99.

Any ideas?
