pierodn said:The gearbox of the Dominator is equal to that of Commando?. the later AMC type gearbox of a Dominator is almost the same
What are the differences? mainshaft, beefier shell
The insides parts of the Dominator gearbox can be reused on a Commando? Yes except for the mainshaft

Ok thanks for that info, I basically have a really good dommie gearbox it's stamped 4244Hi, I remenber Hobot using the pre-cdo gearbox , saying their casting is better ! more strong ?? but you must know the intermediate and outer covers are a bit different due to the kick spring , the later one being better , and if you swap you must swap both (intermediate and outer ) just because there is a "boss" inside the outer which longer (where the kick shaft pass)............otherwise the upper lug being larger as you had noticed , it's slightly less easy but largely doeable!
I'll keep all the cogs to the relevant gearboxI think , over the years , all gears were made , with any number of teeth .
Matching got a 1 tooth variation , regarding each cog .So multitudeinous ratios availiable , pre N V T days .
The Kickstart Pawl WOULD NOT fit inside the smaller 1 st gears . so - thats a ' Starting Point ' for a road bike .
A fault not suffered by the Close Ratio Triumph Box , which ratios are near identical to the standard ' Manx ' C.R. Box .
In the magazines over the years , the number of times it was said thet the gear profile , material & heat treatment were ' improved '
defies belief . Thus perhaps some caution is not amiss . Though generally ' all the cogs will interchange and operate . if not indefinately .
Thus a differance from ' keeping it going ' , and something youd be confidant in at 1509 mph , down Bray Hill .
Ok thanks for the info I hadn't realised there was a differenceHi Baz , if your Commando intermediate /outer covers are good (so just the main shell welded), put them on the dommie tranny, as said above the kick spring attachment is better , making the kick return more positive..............and the spring less likely jumping out its location.
