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 |

Yes it can be done. You can buy the forks and shafts and etc. and just swap them out. Sounds easy right?, but it would be a better scenario to send it off to Dr. Evil. THEN you add the shifter, two shift rods, u-joint, nylon firewall bushing, two nylon cups, etc. I think I've seen a forks/shafts kit in the AutoAtlanta catalog. I hope I read this right. And you just may find it cheaper just to find a used side shifter transmission. |
