Six-speed Transmission
- The fifth and sixth gears on the input shaft ride on bushings for added reliability
- Positive shifting action and rugged durability
- Shift forks are hard chrome finished to resist wear and seizing
- Convenient oil level window
- Bushings on the second, third and fourth gears on the output shaft increase durability
