I have heard that you can change a tail shifter transaxle to a side shifter transaxle. Is this true, or is it just a rumor? If I can change my 5 speed tail shifter transaxle to a 5 speed side shifter transaxle, how do I modify my tail shifter?
If I can, what kind of parts do I need? What kind of preparation is needed to be done? I am assuming that I will need a side shifter transaxle, correct? What else? Oh, I did look all over the site, and found nothing. korijo 914 |

Are you asking if you can switch out the transaxle? Yes you can. You can also convert the tail shift case to a side shift. You'll need the side shifter end piece and shifter components along with the shift rods and the engine mount bar. I converted my 72 from the tail shifter to the side shifter with parts from a 75. I just swapped the transaxle.
