well I'm about to open my case and get my crank out and i was looking to put in a 5th gear over drive and mikes xs only has them for 73 to 77 and later so will a later transmission in a early engine
@TwoMany.......that sir is a lot of work. But, it would be super useful. Especially as the older the bikes gets the more ebay'd and mixed the parts get...etc
That, perhaps it is? should be tagged somehow in a reference section here somewhere.
Wow, marlin, you do know what the lever on the left does right? ...anyways, Some have reported the inner diameter is too tight to go on the shaft(the overdrive 5th), and must be machined.Thanks again two many, for the advice. I should have it out and upside down next week.
By the way, I'm pretty good at breaking transmissions. Broke my 305 scrambler trans twice. My 125 Elsinore once, and my XS once.
I'll let u know what I find. Thanks again.
...Thanks for the heads up on the 256 trans, too many. mine is still rock solid, but now that I have a 71, im taking note of the earlier based threads.
... I still have a problem picturing how they add a tooth without changing the diameter...
