Shift Drum Question

Is the shift drum plate (the gear indexing plate) interchangeable for all years of 3 speeds? Honda has a different part number for later years and they are still available (for 3 bucks). The early years are not. I'm piecing together a 3 speed motor for a cheapo, resto, KO. All parts sourced to date are of the highest salvage yard quality I assure you.

Thanks,
Rod
 
Hi Rod, this is a guess, but I had a 93 ct and the shift pattern is all the way down is netural and 3 up. An early ct is all up for netural and 3 down. I would think the shifting drum would have to match the shifting plate and they aren't interchangeable.

Thasts a good question and I have to add something to it.One of my ct70s 3 speeds was apart and I had to substitute a few transmission parts from a scrap motor I had laying around,once it was back together it shifts fine but has 2 neutrals.Maybe I mixed up a 4 speed part in the mix.It doesnt bother me I just always wonder what I did wrong.RC Cola and a moon pie for the solution!!!!
