dajogejr Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Anybody have pics of an override trans? Just curious what is done to 'em. Also how do you downshift an override? (Noticed somebody said the dunable version can be downshifted like normal) The majority of the work is done on the shift drum. Gears have dogs removed and the remaining dogs are "ramped" or angle cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badassbanshee479 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 they work great for up shifting with out the clutch! all you have to remember is to pull the clutch in at the top so you do not back load the tranny and bend the shift forks. And if you are in an overriden gear you do not want to let the clutch out and roll down the hill and use the tranny to slow the bike down. this is where a 2-5 override is nice to have, you can put the bike in first and ride it like a normal tranny, and when you wanna shift with no clutch you click it into second and start bangin gears! The dunable overrides are nice for people that have never rode a bike with an override because if you mess up and forget the clutch at the end of a run it will take the abuse alot better than a regular one! I let my girl friend ride my bike and she has no idea what an override is! I am on my third season with mine now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badassbanshee479 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 wcr is who did my tranny! it was around 350 bucks for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Hex* Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 shows how much you know...dunable overrides have been proven for a while now. WCR cuts a damn good tranny and Greg is a hell of a guy to deal with in my opinion. My advice to you chills is to not listen to hex, obviously he has not had the experience with today's overrides. You will be pleased. :beer: dude its not about what i know its what other people know, if you know ur facts even rudy kurtz says that he doesnt do them because they are unperfected yet so dont state facts you havnt read on. yes they work but not all.

dajogejr Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 So Hex....based on your theory...you just listen to what other people say, even if it is a very respected Rudy Kurtz.....and that's it? There are TONZ of people on this site that have them and they work just fine. Myself included. I'm sure anyone that cut them had problems with them at some time. Dave Moore even stopped cutting them because he had problems. But I will take my WCR Dunable override any day of the week...and there are a TON out there that are working just fine... I try to make choices based on overall recommendations, that include people that actually have them and use them...not just what one man says. No disrespect to Rudy...but maybe someone else can do something better if his weren't holding up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawiking Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) daj.... who makes the one's u can get ??? are they any cons to having one. im really wanting to get one. but id hate to load it up and fu#k it up. do u have to clutch it while you are still giving it gas(at the end of the track). if u let off the gas and clutch it real fast will it tear it up ??

Bansh-eman Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 the cons are if you let them backload then you can tear it up. When you get at the end of the run you just pull the clutch before it backloads. Duneables can standup to back loading better then normal overrides. They say that at 8,000 rpm is when you really need to make sure not to back load them. Although not backloading at all wowuld be ideal. I had bad luck of the draw one mine but its getting fixed so no biggy. Everything has its breaking point. Some with shaved flywheels hold up for years and ome shatter the first time they run. It's just one of those things. There are plenty of guys with Duneables that have had zero problems. Dont listen to hex he's full of crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitaker cuts the drums, my buddy cuts the gears/dogs and cuts/welds the shift star. He's very good friends with Brad Tyson, and has worked with him and a local shop by us called Dynoedge a few years ago... The majority of the work is cutting and welding the drums. They are also the hardest... Cutting the gears isn't as bad.... The only Con is no 6th gear. That's it. Yes you can let off the gas and pull the clutch...don't think if you accidentally let off the gas and DON'T Immediately pull in the clutch it's gonna break on you. However...as said, it is not a great idea to rev out to 8K or more then let off the gas and coast to a stop. It will NOT break the tranny or "tear it up"....it will wear the forks out prematurely... I recommend the 1-5 for a simple point of this...if you run distances longer than 300 foot, you can change your gearing and start in 1st. Ask JT. We ran 660 feet on the ice....and with his being a 2-5 it's a little harder to get gearing right...he still has 1st gear, but he has to clutch it from 1st to second. Most of you know how crappy they shift under full power with a clutch.. Hope this helps....let me know if you have any more questions.

Bansh-eman Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Dave, not possitive but backloading can also eat the gear??? Steve backloaded his 250R and his gear went caboom as well as bent his forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve backloaded his 250R and his gear went caboom as well as bent his forks 250Rs are MUCH different, and NO ONE that I know of is making dunables for them any more...just not enough clearances.... And...normal overrides can cause issues if you backload them excessively....but even standard cut overrides in the right hands can be backloaded by mistake...just not too many times.

Bansh-eman Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 oh and his R was not a dunebale, so that might have made a differance as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawiking Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 when they say "core charge " what are they wanting of yours. is it better to keep your tranny parts and just buy the whole dunable from whom ever ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
