New banshee owner transmission question

Take it to the asphalt and see if it makes ya happy. If you wanna get it to the dunes and actually ride it around, you'll need at least a "dunable" over ride. Just depends.... Do you get your rocks off only going in short straight lines? Or do you wanna get in the tree shots and idiot holes? Maybe ride a trail or two?

Ya I think that's the route I'll go. The drag season is over anyway. I would like to do a little more than just drag it at the sand. I probably won't take it to the sand till next spring anyway so I thinknill tear it down in the meantime and put a more user friendly trans in it. Maybe a pro mod or something? I really wanna have the frame powder coated or painted anyway it needs it.

It's not a bad idea to tear it down anyway. It's the only way to really know what is goin on inside that thing and if the motor truely runs worth a damn it's better to just make sure the bottom is bullet proof. There is a bottom end walk through thread on here that is worth a peek.

 

Things to think about:

Crank and trans bearings

Crank welded?

Trans for your riding (CAMATV)

Full C-clip on bearings that only have half moon clips. Or double oems.

Clutch. Actuator arm to the pressure plate. Cable and lever.

Quality seals.

Ok I have the thing completely tore down to the frame to send out to powder. The question now is what to do with the trans. I will be 80% dragin this at sand mountain and say 20% just normal dune riding. For the racing I'd kinda like the 2-4 override but not so much for the rest. Question still is should I leave it or go with a different style? Should I go stock or durable override? Pro mod? Will the stock hold up? It's not a monster but still has 85hp and the stock trans was made for 35ish? I'm a millwright by trade can I do it myself or should I just ship it out? I'd like to let other guys ride it but the override seems too finicky and I'd hate to have a buddy shift it like normal and dick it up. What is the advantages of the other options? Lotta questions but I'd like to do this once right. Thanks again
