Could use some help with this, 85 YTM 225 DRN has been a blast over the years, when I got it thought is was a 4 speed, ran great for 3 years, last trip out lost 4th gear. After some reading found out it's a 5speed.

So now it's time to figure out why I'm down 4th & 5th gears. I've got the Clymers manual and shows break down, but not my listed problem. I'm mechanical but never tackled a trans before

Please help me get my gears back. Where to start.
Thanks

Well took it apart and found a cam lobe in the oil filter and another piece inside the case, Was the shifting cam. Found the parts and put it together last night and we are back in business baby! 51 dollar fix.
