What tranny to use?

[sheerider11]

Thanks Jereme6655, I think I'll stick to my stock tranny lol, anyone know how I can beef it up? Or how I can have it change gears smoothly without going into a full override?

You do the stock modded trans that was just explained

Any clue how much the tranny mod is. thats where they cut some of the dawgs out of the gears right.

If a Non override modified trans is done right there is WAY MORE to it the. Just removing every other dog and calling it good. Although that is part of it. There are a lot of little areas where these gears mesh or lock in together and the guys who know what they are doing are putting a little work in to those areas as well. You can look at my WCR Pro Mod next to a bone stock tranny and see ALOT of differences. Then you throw in the modded shift star, drum mod, micro polishing, Cryo Treatment and a modded shift shaft as well as a shift pro and my tranny shifts like Fuggin butter! If I do it right I can practically shift with no clutch. But most of these type of Trannys will require an ever so slight blip of the throttle or clutch. Pretty much either/or.

If you aren't drag racing, hill shooting, or hill climbing, it might be wise to do a stock cut. A good one is a huge difference.

Like I said before.....SEND A MESSAGE TO CAMATV......he will let you know how much the cost is and the turn around time.  We can only show you so much of the way before you have to man up and take the next step.

Another member on here(ZillaGuy, not ZillaFreak) was in the same boat. Was all about the override till we talked and he called Tyson racing and was told that an override might be a bit much for him. So brad cut him a stock style( think brad calls his EZ-shift). He seemed to love it.

WOW  i have NEVER seen shift forks completely break in half like that!  if that happend  it possibly got actually locked in 2 gears at the same time  and had no where to go.  thats nuts..

 

i think the above paragraphs explained a lot on what the differences are.  in my humble opinion a "duneable" unless set up by a MASTER with spring pressures and installed in the cases for you WILL eat shift forks like crazy.  i have a (Well known shop name) 2-5 duneable  and after literally 3 rides it started pooping out of 5th gear.  i was pretty easy on the trans and after the next ride i split the motor.  it had already chewed up the dogs and also chewed up a shift fork.  wow.   i also have a few other override and each one has been done by differnt shops.  some do the drum in weird ways  almost looks like its done by hand.  others the drum looks weak as hell from underwelding , or cutting to deep and down into the base of the drum leaving holes WOW   or the dogs and gears are terribly angle cut. they dont ride on the opposing gears fully or in a way that i feel keeps them center'd, now these all shifted ok in their own way. and remarkable most held up better than the "duneable".  i have seen other duneables come out and nearly every one had destroyed the shift forks within a year   i do have ONE from a real machinist that is absolutely beautiful.  this shop is unfortunately out of business due to lack of work. that override has been surviving for years and tons of passes with a lot of OOPS and various abusive shit on my part.  the drum, and gears are all cut in a way that they work together excellent.  with what i have learned on these stock mods and what i feel i have learned from that override i HOPE to be able to release one soon that i think will work great.  BUT  its been on the very back burner of my " projects list" due to financial reasons and the fact that i just will not comprimise on this override at all. 

 

 

basically to answer the override or modified stocker questions.

 

do you ride trails, dunes, play ride, goof off, do wheelies, have more than just pipes and jetted, let your friends, girlfriend, wife, whatever ride your bike, do you ever just want to cruise around and not want to worry about the trans. do you like to put through the trails, dunes and want to just do clutchless shifts by letting off the throttle just a second   you need a modified stocker..

 

do you drag race, dune drag, have a monster of a motor and a shit ton of weight on a lockup, need more than an 8 plate clutch, is that all you do with the bike and you have to have to have to be the fastest guy there?  you need an override.  and preferably a good one.  there is plenty of crap out there unfortunately 

 

i don't recommend duneable or spring assisted to anyone.  the constant rubbing of the forks on the gears causes to much premature wear in my opinion.  and the trade off is not worth it i feel   the concept i think is good  but it just needs some refinement to work well..
