• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

This is pretty much a complete transmission except for the main seal. Notice the zip ties on the gear shaft and the linkroller. They hold on a washer that "must" be installed. This puppy had a bad second gear so I took a spare out of a 175 CC transmission as they are the same gears.

You can see the washer on the top of the gear shaft that must be in place. Also note the transmission is in fourth position on the linkroller. The last indent is 6th, next 5th, etc. During assemble, the transmission "must" be in 4th position.

Its hard to see but there are two teeth showing on the upside of the stepfeeder gear (under the gearshaft). If you don't get this right, you will be splitting the case again to correct it.

Notice you see one tooth on the bottom side of the stepfeeder gear next to the linkroller. Also the stepfeeder gear must be installed with the flat side looking at you. Now once the main seal and the crank are installed, you can install the center case gasket and join the two case halfs. It wouldn't hurt to heat up the right case half so it installs easier over the mag side of the crank. Torque the case screws to 70 inch pounds and your finished with the transmission.
 
fellow mxer, maybe u can help me. I cant seem to make things go back together.I may have mixed up the three shifting forks dont know. Just for your info i probably did 4 of these transmissions back in late 80s.help?thanx
 
Irockmxer: Go into the technical section of the "left kickers" and bring up the parts lists and diagrams for the year and model you have. These will help you to see which shifting forks go to which shafts and verify the washers that must be installed. Look over my pictures carefully and make sure your parts are installed similarily. It's not that hard if you take your time and pay attention to the diagrams.
