I will be placing an order for a gearset upgrade soon so I will order some spacers as well. I'm just across the state from you over here in Farmington area; if you have a brick and mortar location I would love to make a road trip sometime.

Peerless does make spacers to take the place of gears, and they fit all Peerless transaxles and transmissions. P/N 786071 is the smooth-bore spacer for the splined bevel-gear countershaft, and P/N 786072 is the spacer for the shifter-brake shaft. The 786072 spacer has the internal tabs that fit into the shift-key slots so when you reach the last gear in your cluster, the keys won't go any farther -- "locked out".
I keep these spacers in stock, if you need them. They're currently $3.00 each plus shipping.

That?s how some peerless 700s were a factory 3 or 4 speed even though the cases and countershafts accommodate 5 gears. Would be straightforward to build your own with a piece of tube cut to length of the same thickness of the gears you?re removing then weld in keys to ride in the counter shaft keyways to stop the shift keys from being able to travel further.

Coffee Shop / Favorite Race
« Last post by Daltonleach11 on June 27, 2023, 11:37:18 pm »Hey guys! After digging through old threads and trying to get a feel for this place, I couldn't help but notice how many people seemed to know one another in those older threads, even if only on here, and the feeling of community I get while reading them. I thought I'd start a light hearted discussion we can just connect with. So, I want to know if any of you have a favorite, or especially memorable race/ race-day, and if so why?!
