 88-92 ( 1st gen ) are the same , then 93-2000 ( 2nd and 3rd gen ) all the same , the length is the difference ----I have a 92 300 but it has a K+N and no inner screen , a lot of people don't like the K+N , the rep told me a story about them , they say people clean then with a hose and nozzle and that is too much pressure , all you need is running water , you need to get all the cleaning solution off or the oil with get diluted by the cleaner and then it has to be completely dry before applying the oil 

i've never noticed any difference in the element length ?, guess I need to check the part numbers !. 

and right after he post this ^^ , I find him one on ebay..lol. but still, one of you great members might have an extra laying around for him ?.

Oh wow, that Camero is beautiful.

 

Can't help with the transmission issues.   At first glance sounded like you got the gear position switch put in 180 out, but if that were the case you'd run out of gears without being able to shift 1-5.  That said, that would explain why you couldn't find Neutral.

 

I would check that before you tear the motor down again. Can you find reverse?

I just wonder if he installed a gear on one of the shafts upside down ?, been there, done that...lol.

All oem honda 400ex carbs will work. The newer ones have a slightly bigger bore. But that doesnt effect anything but maybe alittle power and a small jetting tweak. Clutch options. I really liked my ebc dirtracer clutch. Its a cork base. Barnett makes a good clutch. Make sure you are getting the 20% stiffer springs. Doesnt matter brand on that. It will make it lock up better and slip less. My new build im doing a hinson clutch and bullet proof basket. I tend to stay away from the kevlar and carbon fiber clutches. They build up in the oil to what i have seen. Also the basket if its not grooved to bad it can be filed smooth to make clutch action alot smoother. If its hanging up it can cause the clutch to slip and burn up quicker. Welcome to the forums!

your slippin, you let this thread post in the utility section ?!..lol. , moved it here :-).

55 here, I just wing it !..lol, welcome to the forums !.

welcome to the forums !, we got some smart sport guys here :-).

I am not really a old school 350D guy , but don't the 350D  engine spin the opposite direction  than  say a 300 , I have read where guys have to have a reverse ground cam made for the 350D head on a 300 engine as the 350 OEM cam spins the wrong way ----so if that is the case then the starter needs to spin the opposite way as well ??? 

I mentioned to him, its posb he got a trx300 starter in it from the other owner, your correct, the trx350's ( old school ) does turn opposite of the trx300's from what i've seen ?, or i'm older than I thought, and just pure blind ?!..lol.

I've put them in the drill press and used a flat file to true them up again. 

 

@Goober are you sure you got the correct brushes? If the positve and negative brushes are swapped they will turn backwards (seen it plenty of times on the old 350s). Same with the positive and negative cables that go to it. 

I know for a fact, if you hook the battery cables up backwards from battery ?, the starter will turn backwards on the old trx350 fourtrax's, been there, done that..lol.

moved your thread here misterclean, we do have a section for motorcycles, if you want, we can also move this to the restoration section ?, seeing how this will be a restoration !.
