one of 2 things they were to cheap to have it machined and the cost of the angle piece - or they realized they never needed it in the first place

scrape out the silicone off the countershaft end and re do it with new - we use the right stuff - I know it did not leak I can see that - but do it now or after you ride it the first day and find out it does want to leak with the old glue

Thanks John. Again for your straight no BS knowledge....... I did dig all the silicone out and clean it up well re silicone . Use the black most times but had a bunch of high temp.Hell looking at it now should have pulled trans and tossed it on bench...but afraid I would pull motor....not doing that not doing that. Lmao... Got carried away and painted back half of frame. Been kinda busy with Laconia coming everybody in a rush.....next week I’ll get the old black dog back up and running. Thanks again

Some one borrowed my inner trans seal driver....so time to make a new one. Walked over to lathe. Grabbed a piece of a race kart axle 1 1/4..... ready to chuck it in a collet. Looked over and what do you know. One of my junk 1 inch 5 C collets fits the trans shaft perfect. Nice seal driver . So if you need one look at the junk tools at your local swap meet. I have a sleeve that just screws in the end of this. Either end works....I have seen these rusty at swap meets for pennies. I make all my special tools......mo fun....well at least for my own stuff. John do you put silicone in the slots before you put the nut on?
