1973 Wr250 Engine/transmission

Hi all new member first time poster. I recently aquired my dad's old husky he had when i was a kid and I am in the beginning stages of restoring it. The engine was seized because the po left it outside for yrs w/o the air filter housing on it. Today when I split the cases the gear on the shift fork fell off and I don't know what orientation it goes in. Not sure what gear its in either. With a little time and common sence i could prob figure it out but a link to a download or a shop manual I could buy would be super helpful. A parts manual would be nice too as I have a couple of what look like small dowel pins laying on the bench. I dont think they're dowel pins but unsure where they came from. Thanks for any help.

Those are the clutch engagement rollers and push rods(not shown) that go between the clutch on the left case half and and the clutch actuator in the right case half. The gear in your hand is the step feeder/ for selecting the gear. Unfortunately you have the left half off and that is the side you rebuild from. So your going to have to do a full reassembly from scratch. Your gonna need new gaskets and you might as well replace the seals and any bearing that is suspect. Good time to clean and lay it all out on a nice white towel!! Use your wifes favorite so she can enjoy the progress!!
The 74 will work for you!!

Thank you for the reply. That diagram is exactly what i needed. I see it shows 3 of those rollers but i only have two. Did i loose one in the disassembly or is it possible the 73 only had two? I have both push rods out (one at a time) and didn't even notice those rollers on the bench till later. I did take note that the two flat ends went toward each other. I will put it back together as instructed and try again tomorrow. When i took the halves apart the gear actuator shaft fell out with the step feeder gear and i'm unsure of its orientation on install. I tried putting it back together but couldn't get it to shift properly. I'm assuming the step feeder teeth mesh equally on the linkroller. New gaskets and seals are in the works as well as checking the cylinder and piston. Thanks

This manual will show how to set up the step feeder. Not positive but I think the shift drum hast to be in 4th gear on assembly. The lost roller could be in the shaft still or under foot, Do a meticulous search because without it you cant use the clutch!!

I think i understand now. Thank you for the help. Much appreciated!

Assembling these are as easy as pie after you've done it 100 times, I'm on my 63rd assembly, got a ways to go before the pie thing. Thank god for the shop manual.

For a first timer it's kinda scary. Definitely doable if your mechanically inclined. I did find the 3rd roller on the floor and got it together and its shifting as it should. The only difference i found was the workshop manual is for a 5spd trans i think. Mine must be a 6spd (it's been 25yrs since I've rode it) as it has 7 detents on the shift drum. Pg 85 fig 17 shows 6 detents. I set it up according to the manual and it would not downshift from high gear. Took it apart and put two teeth on the right as opposed to the one indicated on pg 88 fig 24 and it now downshifts from high gear. As stated above, and i'm no expert, it seems logical if its a 6spd trand, putting it in 4th gear and doing one tooth to the right like the pic on pg 88 would get you the desired outcome on a 6spd. Now onto cleaning it up now that it's back to working.

Having a hard time finding a engine seal kit or a seal/gasket kit combo. Any leads? Gasket kit is no problem finding.
