This is a drop
in replacement for the stock RG500 transmission. This transmission
solves several of the classic problems of the stock gearbox.
First, it is more
robust. It has been designed with strength and long lasting durability
as it's foremost characteristic. High quality, high strength materials
and material treatments have been employed to make this, by far, a superior
transmission assembly. The material selected is SAE 4340 nickel-alloy
steel. Heat treated and tempered back to Rc 34 and gas nitride hardened
to a .30 mm deep case.
Second, the gear
ratios have been modified to provide for more consistent close ratio performance.
This also corrects the steep 1st gear ratio that is a nuisance with the
stock transmission.
Third, the drive-lug,
(drive-dog), design provides for quick, easy, rock-solid engagement.
The three-on-three gear to gear design allows the drive-lugs to be large
and robust even with the tapered under-cutting which prevents the transmission
from "popping" out of gear. Also a common problem with the
stock transmission.
Finally, this
transmission also has Needle Roller bearings employed as the bearing elements
in all non splined gears. There is even one provided for the kickstart
gear. There are also oil relief grooves in all of the required gear
faces and oil passage holes in both shafts to facilitate superior bearing
oiling and longer life. The drive shaft has also been lengthened
by 10 mm to aid those who wish to run a wider tire and need to space the
drive sprocket out farther. A spacer will be provided for this purpose.
(If you don't utilize this option, the spacer needs to be used under the
sprocket nut.)
Gear ratios are
as follows:
1st - 2.286:1
2nd - 1.750:1
3rd - 1.381:1
4th - 1.174:1
5th - 1.040:1
6th - .960:1
KS - 1.333:1
What you get:
Both the Counter
Shaft and the Drive Shaft. All of the transmission gears, (1st through
6th). The Kickstart gear. all required needle bearings, thrust washers,
and retaining rings. The transmission will also be assembled.
Also provided with each transmission will be an assembly drawing, an item
list, and instructions on assembly, dis-assembly, installation, recommended
care, inspection, and maintenance. Sometime soon I will have a bearing,
retaining ring, and thrust washer, re-build kit priced and available.

Legal Disclaimer:
This is an off-road,
racing transmission. You do with it what you want. Due to the
nature of "after-market", "self-installed", "self-maintained", components,
there will be no warranty, implied or otherwise. Of course if it
doesn't fit, (which it will, because I will hand assemble, and test fit
each and every one of them), send it back and I'll send you another one.
If you want a full warranty, it will cost you dearly.
