Tackling a 45 3-bolt tranny for the first time.
I don't know how well it worked before disassembly, so I don't know what to fix.
Pictures below are for 1st and second gears. No missing teeth, but certainly showing some wear from their respective clutch gears.
Should I replace them 'while I'm in there'?
Leaning toward replacing second gear for sure, as it would get the most use and is the one you need to find reliably!
I guess I knew the answer.
I haven't been very lucky with finding OEM/NOS parts.
The bike is completely apart. There are so many things that need to be replaced, I can't possible wait to find OEM/NOS parts, so I will certainly have a multi-national restoration.
You are already in there. Why not? Ask if this is what you want to deal with down the road. Andrews gear set is a great replacement. Just had my 1996 transmission done replaced everything.
while I know the guy is trying to help with the Andrews gear set - but they do not make 45 parts at all nothing
in your search the real guys who are selling are listing those gears with the original part numbers -- and not 45 trans gears kind of thing
BUT your parts book could have the 1920s parts numbers that are 5 numbers and not 7 numbers sometimes a gear or two will show up but - 35275-41 is one of the gears - main shift first gear this is the number you need to chase those parts
will look but I have always depended on swap meets and the guys I know carry this sort of stuff - no swaps meets this year will happen my guess notin the north east anyway

Should I replace these gears?
