Has anyone ever heard of a Six speed trans being mated to a XB9S? |

I've heard of it being done, but you lose neutral. Again, that's what I've heard, so I'm not sure if it's true or not. All that I know is that it is a lot harder due to the tranny not having a trap door. Chad |

To make any tranny changes you have to split the engine cases. Are you looking for closer ratios or an overdrive 6th? If you are looking for the overdrive it would be cheaper and easier to convert to chain drive and use a taller final drive ratio. for a close ratio tranny though you're pretty much stuck with splitting the cases. If anyone has an aftermarket tranny it would be Jim's or Baker. Look there first. |

"If you are looking for the overdrive it would be cheaper and easier to convert to chain drive and use a taller final drive ratio." Another option for that would be the XB12 primary gearing. Probably easier and maybe cheaper, about $200 for parts, or possibly get the parts from a Uly rider who has put the XB9 primary in. Even cheaper, swap primaries with a Uly rider who is wanting to do it. |
