Extreme Gearbox Inspection!

An experienced Husky friend let me borrow his cases once - which lead me to make a set for myself. Very useful for Ironing out any issues, particularly with the 5 speed primary kick boxes that, on occasions we have found to have selector forks that rub on some of the gears in places they shouldn't!

Great idea I think I will make a set out of some old cases. Thank you for this photo.

Great to see how thick Husky made the idle gear mounting area cut in two - much beefier than I thought.

Off subject a bit. Just wish we all could have made the next level of Husqvarna prototype development release that we could remove
the transmission with a special split case that did not have to be removed from frame. Imagine that.

You mean like the casset types ossa are having issues with at the moment?
They did them back in the day successfully but not husky.

the swede engineers were working on cassette transmissions when the whole show moved to italy..

Nice picture Andy. The top two gears are real close in ratio I would think just from the sizes. The second gear up from the bottom is kind of compromised from full width. At least they seem to have been pushing the envelope of how wide to make the gears from your description of problems.

For folks just mix and match the six speed ones if you do not install the crankshaft the cases with the transmission in go together easy to see if things did not mix or match well.

The Gas Gas two cycle engine says cassette style transmission, not sure what that means. I never had a Harley Sportster but have heard they have a cassette transmission but that was like 20 years ago. The auto shaft with the free wheels comes out easy.

Sportsters had cassette style transmissions from 1957 until 2003. and KR / XR 750 dirt trackers and road racers.
