    I boycott listings like that. Putting Cr in it is keyword spamming. Just print out that listing go to the local dealer and ask if it fits what model you might have. What is going on with what looks like holes for an engaging dog right next to the drive sprocket? Did not care enough to put the shafts in relative position.

    Boycott or not a 6 speed box is desirable, yes Less so without selecting drum an forks but still useable.
    As for cr wr spam I see no issue with it as it saves me searching twice!

    That 6 speed is an old one, not the one used to convert the WR 250/300s to a 6 speed so beware !

    There are 5 people watching that item thinking that it will probably work for that conversion, probably misled by the listing title. The counter shaft splines are the tell that it is incorrect for the conversion.

    I always hope that 1 shaft sells and they are stuck with the other forever as punishment for breaking them apart.

    Oh, I agree. I have bought & sold lots of parts on there. I was talking about all the messages back & forth when I was looking for my 6speed gear sets......do you have more pics?...do you have better pics?....Can you show better pics of the dogs?...The dogs are the tabs on the sides of the gears...lol...etc. I had lots of correspondence with multiple sellers until I found the right deal for me.

    I had a complete late 80's lower end 250 case with crank and cr gears. I punched out the rear mounting tube for the
    Larger swing arm diameter bolt and pushed I the early 80 sleeves. I restored a 83 250cr five speed bike. She's in the state of Michigan ++.

    Now I'd look for a complete lower WR case. But you need the shifter drum, forks, all the shafts and gears I buy them this way too. But inspect the gears closely for crystallizing from running on low oil. The pictures of gears missing areas on the teeth or gouged out spots be aware. You want a full perfect set.

    I just bought an 83 250cr and am in the lovely pothole state of Michigan. But I have a 6 gear set in. It.
