I remember seeing some posts about problems with the hardening on the Trans gears which caused some premature wear of the gears. I haven't seen this first hand though. Transmissions are usually pretty tuff unless something breaks and gets sucked in there
Any known (2007) 510 SMR Transmission problems?
Hey Guys,
I am considering retiring from husqvarna for good. Pretty fed up with a transmission issue I have been dealing with since I bought the bike with a known trans problem (6th and 5th had lost teeth with roughly ~4000~ miles on engine). I was under the false assumption that it was a good deal, so I turned it into a project; threw brand new gears in, and finally got her running this summer. Ran like a dream, shifting was excellent; very smooth... Fast forward ~5,000 miles~; after changing the oil, which I routinely do every 500, I saw my beautiful gear teeth in my oil again. Split the engine and learned that I need a new 3rd and 4th gear. I have Googled every forum and have yet to find anything relevant to this transmission issue. Any ideas? i find it hard to believe that ALL the gears are defective. Has anyone heard of or experienced this? I love it, but a new tranny every 4-5k is no fun. Engine has a little under 9k, trans/engine was rebuilt by a professional mechanic, adjusted valves twice over the summer, always good gas, and I constantly check the oil. Any help/info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rmcodrum

Here is the thread. I wanted to get to the bottom if it.
I might also add that your husky mechanic was prolly unaware of the issue. You must look very closely at the gears to catch the problem early.

You're a good man amigo :thumbup:Hell drop the motor in a cooler ship it here for about 60 bucks and ill even put it in.
OP, home boy knows his way around a Husky - Not a bad offer
Awe I'm blushing. I won't even charge anything. Buy the trans and ill put her in. And I'll dye pen the gears and take pics so you know it's good.

sounds like your a good guy. not aure if you have one already but a slipper and a cush drive would give the gears an easier time!Awe I'm blushing. I won't even charge anything. Buy the trans and ill put her in. And I'll dye pen the gears and take pics so you know it's good.

I forgot all about these. I remember a few yeàrs ago they were developing them.

I'm a big fan of Cush drives they really soften up the driveline shock. I was trying to swap a spare KTM Cush drive hub off my 620 into my 510 years ago but i couldn't get it to fit due to the offset. They def work
I'd never seen the sprocket Cush, great idea
Hey all,
Thank you for all the info, been away with work all weekend, looks like i have to take a dye pen to the trans and look at all the gears. I think a slipper might be a good investment, but i am wondering, how much do those kush sprockets run? Looks like there are some good reviews on the forum. BTW, 06-530rr, I PMed you.
