Trouble going into second gear

[jkpc21]

Hey everyone,

My savage 4.6 has been acting really funny lately. I'm about 1 gallon into it. It used to run excellent; doing wheelies when punching the gas, shifting to the second gear, speed, etc... For some reason now, the acceleration has slowed down, and it seems like it does not want to go into second gear. When it does go into second, it takes a really long time for it to pick up speed and even when it does pick up speed, it's nothing like it used to be. What can be the problem? I've tried messing with the tuning but nothing seems to help.

Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Might need to retune .. sounds like it's not getting enough rpm's to make it shift

is it still doing wheelie?does the motor sound high but not moving good?maybe clutch,brakes hanging or retune.

Since there is a gallon through it already I would say check the clutches, replace if needed and clean out the inside of the clutch bell.
