do you lose reverse when.....

dre · 08-10-2007, 12:48 PM

you install a bigger motor, say in a 87 ez-go. how do you still use foward and rev.i dont under stand so any help would be usefull, thinking of going big, but dont want to lose the use of anything. still trying to figure out my options before ordering any parts or calling places with a bunch of silly questions and sounding like a idoit, thought i could look like a dummy hereand get some help. thanks.

really wouldnt mine enough power to do wheelies, thought making a wheelie bar for it would be COOL.but dont want insane amount of power where kids or wifey CANT drive it.

Your engine changes directions for forward and reverse, so you are going to lose reverse. You could put a 4-stroke rear end in it, but they're pretty $expensive$.

Yep...if you put a 4 stroke or a 2 stroke engine that doesn't have the ability to run backwards you will need a 4 stroke rear end to keep reverse.

Swap in a quad engine that has reverse in the tranny.
