I meet to do this thread many months ago but now that im doing this ultima lsd transmission swap again on another one of my bikes i wanted to let others know what they have to do to make it work and what other parts they need to order at the same time there ordering a Ultima lsd transmission for 04 bikes so they dont have to stop working on it and order more parts....THIS DOES APPLY TO JIMS OR BAKER transmission swap.....ONLY ULTIMA LSD TRANSMISSON SWAP that this applies....
Many 04 bikes have a 10.875" clutch pushrod that work with jims and baker trans....but when you do a ultima lsd swap you have to have a 11.375" clutch pushrod ...the shorter stock pushrod is too short...the longer pushrod stated above is a little to long but there is no in between lengths....it works fine being a little longer than needed but the problem i dont like about it is the threads on the clutch adjuster doesnt make full length in the aluminum clutch plate....thats just me being a little ocd when it comes bolts and nuts...it want hurt anything because the adjuster lock nut doesnt take much torque...
Also the other thing is the 5th and lonely stud on the bottom of the ULTIMA LSD TRANSMISSON close to the trap door has to be cut off....THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE 04 RIDGEBACK MODELS AND 04 PITBULL MODELS because the oil tank is under the transmission....so all you have to do is cut it off before you install the transmission.....cut it off around a 1/4" below the bottom of the transmission and it will have plenty of clearance so when installing the oil tank back on the stud want hit the top of your oil tank....
Hope this helps someone in the future get back on the road faster
