    My project bike is a true basket case w/ the engine apart and parts in boxes baggies. I'm trying to make sure I have all the right bits for the transmission. Seem to have the correct gears, but unsure on the washers (spacers). Would anyone have the dimensions of the washers? I found a great guide for the 4-speed by Tosh Konya in the HuskyClub #23 newsletter, but these do not x-reference over to the 5-speed.

    I've never run across anything that outlines the dimensions of all the trans washers on the 5 speed. The transmissions I've taken apart and put back together worked fine and as I remember the washer placement is pretty obvious. The washers fit a particular shaft diameter and the OD of a few of the washers fit into the profile of the adjacent gear. If you get stuck on a washer or two, post a picture and we'll help out. I've got a WR five speed in my parts. Later on I'll take a look to refresh my memory to make sure I'm not overlooking something.

    Two washers on the counter shaft are the same as two on the clutch shaft. The others are easy to figure out.

    Thanks so much for this! Now I just have to find a splined countershaft (#473) and I can start the rebuild : )
