Transmission locknut source

[th_01]

 

I had my V11 Sport Transmission apart. The transmission was leaking from the seams from the last 4 times the hack mechanic had it apart.

There were a few things wrong that I found as well. But I'll skip that and cut to the point.

 

There are four locknuts & lockwashers in the V11 Sport Transmission. They hold the shafts against the bearings and the clutch spline on the main shaft. I replaced them. Sourcing from Guzzi would take too long. After talking with Mark Etheridge he gave me a size for the Eldo 5 speed. That is where my search began.

I finally got a set from Eastern Bearing supply. BUT that took a week. I decided to find a quicker source. Here is what I found.

 

All Loop, Tonti and Spline frame transmissions use locknuts and lockwashers. I found the manufacturer of locknuts and lock washers in Central Falls,Rhode Island. They will ship same day and the cost is about $2 each

Not sure of the Loop or Tonti size for the clutch spline. I believe it is a KM 3.
