[QUOTE="69ST, post: 1589, member: 5"] Crude transmission operation was my main gripe when I ran Chinese engines. Some are better than others and the shifting tends to improve somewhat after the first 500 miles, but the ZS108 I last ran was a bastard to get into neutral once it was up to operating temperature, shift quality was brittle and fourth gear was unbelieveably noisy above 40-45mph. Many of the smaller engines (90cc & below) have enough parts interchangeability that Honda or aftermarket Japanese tranny parts can be swapped-in, curing any transmission deficiencies. The 110 & larger motors don't have that kind of parts availability, thus you're locked into "run what ya brung and hope ya brung enough" if you're after a cheap 110cc-up motor. Honda gearboxes and I'd wager the aftermarket Japanese trannies, as well, don't have these problems. They just don't come cheap. [/QUOTE]
