JIMS, 6-speed overdrive Softail transmission. Plain alu
Plain aluminum case finish. JIMS 6-speed overdrive Softail transmission comes with a JIMS case and JIMS gears. Gear ratio's are same as stock transmission, apart from 1st. and 6th.

Completely made on CNC machine centers from forged 8620 steel and heat treated to the highest gear manufacturers specifications for uncompromised quality. All gears are dimensionally and surface finish checked for to insure quiet and smooth shifting action. Fits Softail and many custom applications.
