[QUOTE="rPGoatBoy, post: 1205406, member: 27237"] Sorry about the problems you've been having with finding a new engine, I don't think may people on this forum will be doing business with DL Cycle Salvage after this debacle. I've had my engine split twice to fix a 2nd gear issue, and can tell you it is a fairly straightforward job if you want to take it on yourself. You can start by splitting your old engine if you have the means and time. If I remember correctly I once looked at parts diagrams through a bunch of years of AE vs. A and saw the only [I][B]internal[/B][/I] difference in transmissions was the shift barrel. Please verify that before you take my word for it though. Your old shift barrel is probably not measurably worn and therefore could be installed in your new engine. The same may be true for your clutch slave cylinder. It would also give you the opportunity to inspect the transmission dogs & forks of the AE engine, and replace any parts that may need replacement. If you would, please take pictures of the AE transmission parts. It'd be good forum information on how much electrohydromechanical actuation of the clutch and shift shaft are better than our clumsy left hands and feet; I don't think any AE owners on this forum have had their cases split. That should bode well for the condition of your AE transmission. Aside from the mentioned parts, you're in for some engine cover gaskets, 10 main bearing bolts, two coolant tube o-rings, a tube of Yamabond, and maybe an oil pickup screen if you're more cautious than you probably need to be. Good luck, keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
