I recieved the 1-2 slider I needed right before I headed out on vacation. The new slider and the old gear didn't mesh(was told it was a 50/50 shot) so I had to order the assembly right before I left. I just got back last night and the new part is here so it will be going together this week, finally.

Dude, you were made for TV.

Can't ya slam those gears any harder? Actually that looks and sounds pretty sweet. You must be itchin to get in there and not fiddledick around with shifting anymore.

See ya in a few weeks.

Duuuuude! <Spicolli style>


The very last thing in the world I wanted to do on a Friday morning - sitting here in Sun Valley - was to watch a video of you jacking your handle off....

The very least you could have done was to get Kelli to do the demonstration.

The camera went dead right in the middle of my hollywood debut. If she don't leak like a siv or sound like a dump truck, should be good to go.

This is a finicky piece. The teeth were chewed up on the 2nd gear side so I ordered the new slider. It wouldn't mesh with my old gear so I ordered the slider/gear assembly. The gear didn't want to play nice with my mainshaft so I ended up using the new slider and my old gear.


I reassembled the main shaft in the vice. Also pictured is the main shaft assembly and 5th installed.




This picture shows the broze shift pads on the outer fingers of the 1-2/3-4 shift forks.

Todd Nice job. Did you have to adjust any shims or were they right on with the new parts?
