Gearbox Issues
Hello everyone!
I have split the cases on my 1983 tt600 I have found a oil pick up strainer full of metal and gasket material yay!
One of the previous owners has replaced some gears in the transmission at some point, I'm guessing, because there is a few loose teeth that dont have an owner in the oil strainer.
The hurdle that I am facing in getting this bike back on the road is the pitting on the trasmission, I have been able to figure out I can still buy most of the gears, checking part numbers up until the 1989 model xt600.
The fifth pinion gear is where the problem lies, I am under the impression, from reading the forums, that yamaha changed the gear on the 1990's model making it wider. What do I have to do to replace this 5th gear in my transmission? Will it fit? Do I have to get the case machined to get it to fit, what needs doing?
I have sent an email to moorespeed inuiring about the gearsets they sell but havnt got a reply back on pricing.
Im located in Australia and any help would be appreciated.
