What would you guys do?

[Moded86R]

Today I ordered new center cases,crank,89 clutch update kit,Shift shaft and all new gaskets,I am also going to get the counter balancer rebuilt and a new timing plate.As well as a new top-end.


Well now I have to decide wether to try and do the myself or let someone tackle the job.It was nice when my dad was alive.He rebuilt the whole transmission a couple of years ago without even using a service manual.(He used to race atc250r's back in the day)But since I have to do this by myself I don't know what to do.



I would call myself mechanicly inclind.I rebuilt the motor in my truck.I have rebuilt a 250r and a blaster topend.It's just all those little parts they have to be one certain way in the right spot.Or the whole thing is no good.I have also put a new clutch in my 250r before and it worked just fine.



There is a guy that is local that would do it fairly cheap.Probably around 150 bucks to build the whole motor.Which to me that would be worth it.


BTW I have a clymer manual for 250r's that has alot of good pictures.


Thanks for any advice.

personally...if i was u...i would do it myself...but i would make sure i had a friend that knew what he was doing also...that way if u dont kno what to do...he will and will help u out on it...or if u wanted u could take it to the shop and watch him do the job to learn how to do it next time

If you could watch them while they do it, then take it to the shop for sure, that way you can learn a few tricks and there, makes things alot easier. But if you are tight on money, then do it yourself the manuals work awesome, I just dont use them enough :eek2:
