Title: SP1000 5spd = LM1 5spd?
Post by: SED on February 16, 2020, 09:46:16 AM: A friend's LM1 lost 3rd gear last summer and he's found a low mileage SP1000 5speed for sale. Are there any differences to be aware of?

Thanks!

Just a suggestion

He's not. My recollection is that within 10 miles of getting home it started making noise and shifting hard, then 3rd dropped out. Sounded expensive what ever it is. He's thinking get a good gearbox and clutch then spend a weekend on it and save the original 'box for when he has more time.
