im sure everyone has seen the ads in the old biker mags for a little john 5 speed tranny but have you ever seen the inside of one well heres your chance
the case was made about a half and inch longer than a harley case and the countershaft and case bushings were removed and replaced with the plugs shown below
the mainshaft was made longer to accomidate the extra gear the first second cluster was shortend about a half inch and the main drive gear now has two gears on it instead of one
the top looks just like a rachet top but is slightly longer and has a square shape on kicker end the shift drum is made out of solid steel they also machined an extra groove in it for a third shifter fork also the two shifter gears are cut on slight angle looks like its to make up for machining errors
the shifter fork finger portion looks like its from a turtle top the forks them selves have been narrowed so they wont hit other gears
the counter shaft cluster doesnt have a removable shaft one end is a hole bearings go in and the plug slides into it the other end is supported by a plug bearings go in and the cluster slides in both plugs go into the case and supporting the cluster
Why do you have all the awesome stuff. Thats a good one
