• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Anybody have detailed instructions on how to install a 6 speed transmission for a 1974 250WR. I have a old school repair manual with a parts diagram but it's hard to tell exactly what goes where. I can't get the spacing right for some reason.

The rebuild description is fairly vague and isn't much help.

Thanks
 
The 74 case is different than the 6 speed cases in that the 5-speed employs a different type of detent for the gear selector. Six speeds have a spring lever on the top of the shift barrel. The 5-speed use a spring loaded keeper and dimples on the shift barrel. I'm not sure if you will be successful with this mod.
 
It will work. Take a dremel and cut a little detent where the tooth of the gear selector hits the case. Doesn't take much.
 
I know they was a error on the 74 125 transmission exploded view, it showed shims in the wrong location.
My buddy & me took mine apart like 4-5 times before we got it finally right.
