Default Re: Changing from 3 speed to a 5 or 6 speed

Paul:
I bought mine a few years ago for $150 with $150 shipping. I have seen them from $150 to $1000. Somewhere in the middle is likely the right number. Two parts on the tranny are getting a bit tough to replace, thus you should be sure that they have those parts and they are in working condition. The first is the governor switch that sticks out on the right side of the tranny. The second is the solenoid that sticks out on the left side. If you need to ship one of these, you should have both removed to ensure that they are not damaged (ask me how I learned the hard way with UPS). It will take a bit of scrounging to find one, but Craigslist and Ebay are the two places that I see them pop up. These trannies will bolt in place of the three speed that you have currently.
