Okay ye lubbers, I've decided to replace the manual tranny in ole Bill Bones with a rebuild from a fellow here in Oklahoma. He has offered to build it with a slightly taller third and fourth, but I'm not sure how tall to go. I'm running a 2.1 waterbox. At what point do I get a 3-4 that is too tall ? I want to cruise at a lower rpm, but I don't want to lose all power when I hit 4th. Warren Lail 88 Westy "Billy Bones" |
