Re: Transmission
Yes fit was good. bearings pressed in nice, bushing fit was good and end spacer needed was within what I'd call normal.

Re: Transmission
I've used a mainshaft from them. It's of decent quality and manufactured accurately. Tranny went right together and works wonderfully.

Re: Transmission
Proper heat treating is a major consideration. A used Harley gear would be preferable to aftermarket. Try to find one that isn't rusty.

Re: Transmission
Keep in mind that Harry (Dixie) made these years ago. They were made in Japan not China. I can't remember ever having a problem with any of his stuff.

Re: Transmission
I purchased a Dixie cluster. It is made in Taiwan. I put a file to the gear teeth and they are hard. Fit in the gearcase is acceptable. Overall, it looks pretty good. One surprise, the internal snap rings are missing.

Re: Transmission
Missing as in no groove? Or just not sent with them in it? Late '77 up did not have snap rings with the caged needle rollers.
