Where I am at as of now. I grenaded the secondary due to failed button bolts. So I acquired a replacement used secondary. When we pulled the secondary we noticed a crack in the case. Now I could have tig welded this but decided it was a good enough excuse for a HI/LOW tranny swap. I managed to pick up a tranny from a 2000 xplorer 400 with the shifter and linkage.
The swap is going well. So this brings me to my questions.
1. When removing the old tranny the 2 shims dropped out (the ones on either side of the tranny mount – 1 thick and 1 thin) I didn’t notice this right away and they got mixed up. Any idea what one goes on what side?
2. I plan on running 27" MudZillas on 12" rims due to the terrain here in Alberta (Muskeg) and also the large amounts of snow. So I want to put in a new primary spring and weights to help combat the weight of the new rims and tires and also the elevation. I ride between 2000 ft and 5000 ft. So I am looking for suggestions on the grams of weights and the spring, not an actual kit. Anyone have any suggestions?
3. For anyone that has done the HI/LOW swap, any tips that you can share or any things that you have done to accomplish this in a similar fashion and for similar usage to what I am trying to do?
