Ah yes... I had trouble keeping an '84 900C in first gear so I just held it there... which wore out the fork a even quicker I thought. I wasn't very kind to that transmission because the car was pretty underpowered. I just heard about a 97 NG900 that had $2300 spent on the clutch and tranny. One reaction to this is that the mechanic charged a wee bit too much!? The symptom here reported was "couldn't get it into a few of the gears" The 9000 for a while had a hinged frame that could allow for changing... Is this model worth going after? When did this go away? -D Nick Monyatovsky wrote:> > Mine has 100,000 miles on it. I have not yet had to change anything > significant or expensive. Have not had any reliability problems > either.
