    Just bought a 2001 WR250 and its 2nd gear is fudge. I know of a complete cr250 box for sale at a good price but the part number is different. I take it it is just ratios though and the cr box would fit?

    I don't think I would replace the WR tranny unless you want a CR. You will miss the ability to transfer at speed with ease. The top end speeds are almost 20 mph different.

    Can you tell if there is a big gap between 4th & 5th? If so, like Walt said, source a WR
    I have an '01 WR, but it is definitely a close ratio (CR)
