The speedo drive is different on the SP trans...you'll have to modify the
battery plate...I have a Eldo trans that needs a shift spring...milage in
the 20's....200.00 plus shipping...just let me know...

| You'd think that I'd be able run a computer by now wouldn't you. I've spent a good portion of the last 15 years or so of my career in front of the damn things and I still don't look before I hit send. My apologies. To compound my transgressions, I'll ask a dumb question. At least its loop related. My brother wants to put a 5 speed tranny in the Ambo I built for him. I'm on the trail of a transmission out of a '78 SP1000. This should work right? IIRC, The clutch hubs are the same, the mounting points are compatible, and the driveshaft/U joint is a bolt-up. The clutch cable will have to be altered, right? I guess I can check out Guzziology when I get home, but I bet a few of you guys have done this. He has a few problems with the current 4 speed set-up. He's running a 5 speed rear end, so the overall gearing is low and he is revving pretty hard a highway speeds. The speedo drive in the trans is chewing up pinions. He got a set of aftermarket floorboards and controls for a 5 speed that will require some fabrication to adapt to the 4 speed. A 5 speed tranny will solve all that. Anybody else have one they want to sell? Best Regards, Darrell Dick Imlay City, MI |
