I pilled my transmission and found the shifting forks damaged. It will be around $300 dollars to fix, and my second gear might need to be replace too. I found a good low millage sportster transmission on ebay for 400 bucks. It is out of a 91-03 Sportster XL EVO five speed. will this fit my 2001 X1? The seller has good feed back and the Tranny only has 18000 miles on it. What do you think? |

Yep should bolt in but the 2nd gear will be a slightly different ratio I think, my book lists. 1995 - 2003 Sportster 883/1200 1st - 2.69 2nd - 1.97 3rd - 1.43 4th - 1.18 5th - 1.00 2001 X1 manual 1st - 2.69 2nd - 1.85 3rd - 1.43 4th - 1.18 5th - 1.00 Before 1995 Sportsters had slightly different gears. The book just lists as Overall but its fairly easy to work backwards. Side note my 1999/2000 S3 manual says 99's had the 1.97 and 2000's had the 1.85 2nd gear. |

It will fit but you need the output gear to suit as the tooth profile is different. The earlier ones are also a bit noisier (which is the main reason the profile was changed). |

I recieved the Transmission and you are right the output gear is different. Also the shifter detent plate looks different. Ill use my X1 plate, correct? |

I installed the output shaft gear and it hits my speedo sensor. will a sportster sensor work? Other than that every thing fits fine. |
