mnflyer Posted August 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2009 I have found another Venture cheap $500. It is an 84 in excellent condition and runs well. The problem is the transmission. 1st and 3rd are fine, 2nd skips and it will not go into 4th or 5th. Sounds like it is shot to me. What is the availability of parts and how much ballpark figure to fix it? Even if I have to replace the transmission. Recommendations as to buy and fix or not. I am reasonably mechanically inclined and have worked on bikes in the past so I may be able to do the work myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted August 17, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2009 It's always worth the $500.00, even if it's just parts. To fix the tranny could be as simple as repairing or replacing the cog thingie by the clutch, to taking out the engine to replace the thrust washer and straight cutting the gear. Most you'll probably 'spend' will be in labour, but your out of pocket could be in the area of $500.00 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
