Help! Anyone know what gearbox this is? TZ125?
« on: September 22, 2009, 11:03:19 pm »

I bought this gearbox from the US a while ago. It was suppose to be a YZ125E box but as you can see it isn't. I have been to the Yamaha site and the only thing that comes close is a TZ125. Suppose that's where we got our wires crossed. YZ, TZ?
The shift drum is unusual as it has a large boss at the end and a fine ring like the old style drum but the cam end has the small welded ratchet like the post 80's. The shift fork shaft has a step in it that must go through the case. The shafts and gears look like a 125 or a modern 80/85.

Anyway, if anyone knows what it is I will be greatfull as I am about to have a huge shed clean out.
Nos parts & plastics. Mostly YZ 77-81 but some IT and Susuki stuff that's lying around.
When I get it all sorted out I'll post a list of sorts.

Gears are 1st 13:30, 2nd 15:28, 3rd 17:26, 4th 17:22, 5th 20:23 & 6th 21:22

I might be interested in it can you post a pic or count the teeth on both first gears, the ratio will tell me if it's a TZ. Approaching 2:1 will be a TZ.

You can see that its a very close ratio box -closer than any of the old YZs, for sure.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Definantly TZ the long clutch shaft indicates a dry clutch to. I'll send you a PM when I establish what model it came from.Is it possible to take some measurements of the shafts where the bearings sit and the overall lengths of the gear cluster?
