[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1205425, member: 19880"] Damn!! I was just thinking about you and your rebuild job last week and was wondering how things were progressing. I even looked up your old "Lump" thread and considered asking for an update. Last I had heard, your "new" engine was purchased and in transit. Since I have never been into the case and am not terribly familiar with AE (or even A) transmissions, I probably can't be much help other than a little moral support. I do know that the shift indicator (as someone already mentioned) is different but its not expensive and your old one is likely good anyway (It's just a contact pad with 5 contact points). I don't know if the contact pin for the shift indicator is common to both transmissions but not used in the AE. I seriously doubt that there are significant differences between the engine cases and believe that it is very likely you can make it work if you have some competent help. Hopefully, you can use parts mostly from the new transmission. As you said, you are now into it for $1800. Trying again (with no guarantee of better success) would cost a similar amount and you would still be at least a couple of more months away from getting it back on the road. GO FOR IT!! Too bad the Yamaha factory guys who recently honored you for your 200,000 mile milestone couldn't help! Good luck [/QUOTE]
