Baker Drivetrain Overdrive 6-Speed Gear Set Black 2.94 First

Elevate your riding experience with the Baker Drivetrain Overdrive 6-Speed Gear Set, engineered to transform your Harley Davidson's transmission performance. This comprehensive kit provides a significant upgrade, offering enhanced durability, smoother shifts, and improved highway cruising for your 1998-2000 model.

Description

The Baker Drivetrain Overdrive 6-Speed Gear Set is a premium black transmission upgrade designed for select Harley Davidson models from 1998-2000, including the Fat Boy FLSTF 1340 and Heritage Softail Classic FLSTC 1340. This high-performance kit replaces your stock 5-speed transmission internals, delivering a true 6-speed overdrive experience. Riders will immediately notice significantly smoother shifting, a direct result of the roller detent shift drum with reduced inertia and gear dogteeth featuring lead-in ramping. Crafted from robust 8620 steel, the gearsets undergo a meticulous manufacturing process where gears are cut before heat treating and then precision ground with diamond-coated tooling, ensuring exceptionally quiet operation and long-term reliability. The bearing door, a critical component, is manufactured from durable 6061-T6 Aluminum and incorporates wider bearings with retainer plates, a superior design compared to standard snap rings. With a first gear ratio of 2.94:1 and a sixth gear ratio of 0.86:1, this Overdrive gear set provides lower RPMs at highway speeds, translating into a more comfortable ride and increased fuel efficiency. Designed to fit into stock and most aftermarket 5-speed transmission cases, this Made in the USA kit includes all necessary components for a complete overhaul.
