 Part way through filming Season 2 Austin St. John (qv) (Jason)  Thuy Trang (qv) (Trini) and Walter Jones (I) (qv) (Zack) left  the show, it is rumoured, over pay issues. Hence from "The Ninja  Encounter", Saban used recycled footage for their unmorphed scenes  (with any new dialogue required for them, coming from other actors),  until "The Power Transfer" when their Rangers positions were  replaced by Steve Cardenas (qv), Karan Ashley (qv) and Johnny  Yong Bosch (I) respectively. Although, Austin later returned to  Power Rangers in a temporary spell as the Gold Ranger in  _"Power Rangers Zeo" (1996)_ (qv).
