Subject: RE: ELDO/AMBO TRANNY SWAP??

Very worthwhile update for a road going machine. Easier swap than you
may think. The eldo rear gearset is not mandatory in fact the 750 Make
sure the 5 speed is not from a Tonti or later, The rear cover will have
the speedo drive in the wrong place.The Eldo 5 speed is the one you
want.

Thanks Tom and Karl,
Looks like the whole thing is above my head for now. I can barely tune
the
engine. I guess I stay with the 4 speed for now but good to know it can
be
done. BOb

Keep in mind that the Eldo also has a different rear end gear ratio. I'm
not sure what the net result is if you merely change the trans and not
the ring and pinion set. Guzziology does address this issue, but I don't
recall what David The Wise had to say about it.

Yes, but you will need the shifter linkage and change the clutch cable.

Charlie et al,
There's a 1972 Eldo 5 speed tranny on Ebay now. Will an Eldo tranny fit
on
an Ambo and actually work?
