I just bought a 1997 RT 180 for $400, its in great condition but there is one thing, it seems to miss gears.

You can get on the bike, put it in first, take off with it, and it will jump from 2nd to 4th, then to 6th.

Heres how it goes
1, half kick N, 2, N, 4, N ,6

It drops into neutral where 3rd and 5th should be, when it does you have to kick it up a gear and it goes into the next gear.

My first guess is the shift drum? But then again, I havent even gotten time to remove the crankcase covers yet.

The guy I bought it off of says that the clutch plates are worn down too.

Any Ideas?
