It's time that I get started putting my 82 FXR back together. First thing that I need is rebuild parts for the transmission. Who makes quality (USA?) gaskets and seals? I know there are bearings not bushings like the old 4-speeds, but what are the common wear items, and where to get them, besides eBay part number searches? Is there a rebuild kit? Thanks, Joe
Most of the gears are interchangeable with later stuff some are not
i have a collection of take outs from 6 speed conversions if you need a couple - also have a take out evo baker low use 6 but it wont work in yours - dam
bearings i buy by number pricy in some cases but try and find C3 as the end number that is hi speed precision
the 82 I don’t remember if we converted the shift lever to bakers evo one but i did a 85 not long ago with one But the tube that houses it may need to be replaced as they do wear out have them also
