5 speeds in a 4 speed box? (Read 0 times)

mpescatori Serious Thumper Offline Romanum Thumperium Cavalco, yeaaah !!! Posts: 3547 Rome, Italy Gender:	5 speeds in a 4 speed box? 03/13/07 at 09:18:23 Hi all, been away for quite a while, and it's nice to be back... On the german eBay site I happened across a 5 speed box, used, for about ... $55... I was wondering: 1) Is it technically feasible to fit a 5sp gearbox in the 4sp housing? 2) Given the labor fees, is it worth bothering with? Or, is it really worth the money? Cheers, Maurizio

You cannot fit a 5 speed in a 4 speed engine.
The 5 speed has 2 gearshiftforkshafts and the 4 speed has only one: the casing of the 4 speed has no provisions for a second shaft......period.

Never ask your bike to scream before her throat is warm.

Are the primary drive gears interchangeable?
