anybody have a good picture of the shift cam in a manual BW1354? part E6TZ-7F063A ?
looking at the parts it appears the major difference between an electric shift and manual is the electric has a rotating "grooved cam block" to move the forks. that cam rotates on a shaft that is parallel to the main shaft. think of it as a screw moving a threaded gizmo back & forth.
the manual has a plate which rotates perpendicular to the main shaft, it has angled slots that mimic the grooved cam block. tabs on the forks ride in the slots, think of it like a shifter gate.
it appears to have steps/detents to keep it in place.
the reason I ask is to possibly convert an electric to a manual. the holes are cast in for that cams pivot shaft. add a couple of seals, the detent/spring, conjure up a shifter and it looks feasible.
comments?
