Title: WTB: 3rd & 6th Gears Countershaft
Post by: havinnoj on March 14, 2020, 05:43:14 PM
Looking for great condition only 3rd & 6th countershaft gears 88-89.  Anybody got em?

Thanks Jeremy, I'll message you.  In the meantime, anyone have just those gears?

What year of transmission?  Third should be the same in al of them but 6th I'm not sure of.  I have a ton of gears I can look and see what I have

I'd like later years with the design change.  Note that the # of countershaft teeth are the same for 3rd & 6th across the years.  But the mainshaft # of teeth went from 26 teeth to 25 teeth starting in 1987 and stayed 26 after that.

When a gear ratio change is made on two meshing gears the pitch diameter is changed.  This requires both meshing gears to be changed even though one gear may have the same tooth count. 

The pitch diameter of the 23 tooth gears  should be different on the countershaft gears when the tooth count of the mating gear on the main shaft is changed for a properly designed set of gears.

I think you will find the following if you measure the outside diameter of all of the 6th gears:


The 26 tooth gear from the 1985/1986 6th gear on the main shaft will have a slightly larger diameter than the 25 tooth 6th gear on the 1987/1989 mainshaft gear.

The 23 tooth gear from the 1985/1986 6th gear on the countershaft shaft will have a slightly smaller diameter than the 25 tooth 6th gear on the 1987/1989 countershaft gear.

The transmission would probably go into the cases if you used the 1085/1986 23 tooth on the countershaft and the 1987/1989 25 tooth gear on the main shaft, but would have excessive backlash.

The transmission might not go into the cases if you used the 1085/1986 26 tooth on the mainshaft and the 1987/1989 23 tooth gear on the countershaft, because the combination of the pitch diameters will push the two shafts too far apart to fit into the case bearings.

If I remember correctly 1st through 4th gear ratios were the same in all years, but the ratios for 5th and 6th were different on the later model transmissions.

Thanks Jerry. That's great info to have!

The gear ratio calculator is here: http://trx250r.org/GearRatioCalculator.html and yes ratios change on 5th & 6th from 86 to 87-89 however 6th countershaft is SAME # teeth for all years even though the design is different.

Okay give me a day or two and I will look through everything i have i know i have something for you. I have some stuff I am getting ready to sell as well 86 and 89 complete bikes and a few parts

I did not know if you were aware that there was more than a part number change between the different years of the 23 tooth gear but an actual dimension change.

I wanted you to avoid incompatible gear meshes if you were only changing the main shaft gear.
