Chief-Overdrive Transmission

Production units

This transmission has three gears with similar ratios as the OEM trans and a fourth gear that enables the bike to go 72 mph with the engine at 2950 rpm using a large drive sprocket and a standard high profile tire. The 356-T6 gearbox case design is externally the same as the original case with the interior beefed up to accept larger bearings. The top cover has a thicker flange to incorporate the new gear change mechanism. The detent mechanism uses a roller to eliminate friction. 

 

  • The transmission is self contained and sealed. A new clutch basket is included allowing the clutch to be shimmed without opening the trans case.
  • Smooth shifting up or down. No more jamming it into gear and breaking parts.
  • Solid detents for all four gears and neutral.
  • Shift pattern unchanged.
  • Replaced the taper and woodruff key on the clutch input shaft with an involute spline.
  • Replaced the old style sprocket six lobe spline with a larger involute spline.
  • Output sprocket, your choice of 19,21,23,24,25 or 26 teeth provided with trans.
  • The oil fill and vent plug is on the case cover, and a magnetic drain plug in the bottom with an oil level check plug on the lower right front of the case.
  • The Transmission is isolated from clutch assembly so each can use different lubricants,eg: 85-90W synthetic gear oil in the trans and HD clutch oil in the clutch assy.
