your really not going to feel a difference ... If you want to loose weight off your quad it would help .... I ride at the dunes and I never use it so i just got rid of it ... Austin

But your not going to be able to take out your shifter tho .. you still need it for nuetral, and you cant just take out the reverse ... you have to put a spacer in to replace it ... its confuzing

most likely to keep the gears aligned inside the tranny. just take the linkage off and find something light weight and make a shifter that comes off the tranny. thats what i did.

The reverse gear weighs around 4lbs. And you gotta figure that is all rotating mass.
4lbs less that your motor and tranny have to spin. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

It looks tacky(but you can redesign something off of this to make it look better)....but I once had to use a wrench to shift mine, right on the top of the gearbox.......you could make something right there to decrease weight. Also, just tear into the gear box, that is about the only way you are going to understand how it works, and how to make a fix for it. I would take out reverse and neutral(or the componets to get it in).......if that is possible.
