Well, I tried a somewhat similar experiment on a 60s bigtwin…. I thought I would “update” the propshaft and clutch dog to the later style using the spring/ball clutch dog set up for more positive engagement. Gearcase seemed to go together just fine, until it was assembled and I tried to shift the gears. Couldn’t shift into either gear from neutral…. Pulled it all apart and figured out the clutch dog lugs were indeed a little taller and wouldn’t fit into the older gears… Had to find new forward and reverse gears to make this conversion work…
So, please try to assemble the unit “dry-no sealer/orings, etc” to make sure your changes will work out before sealing everything up and having to do that job all over again….
