Here is a write-up I did over at www.rinconriders.com on how to install the gears on the Rincon.

That was a great write up sounds like it's a fair bit of work...didn't see anywere were the total cost came out to be can we get a round about cost to do this ?

[torkmonster]

indeep is also doingthis..
There is aparts lst and i think the ESTIMATED price in the products and reviews section matt....


Great write up man!!! Excellent.

[Disturbed Society]

Total price was 148.50 from my dealer. I forgot to mention that in my write-up. The parts list is in the write-up too.

[torkmonster]

wow, for the price AND thats from dealer, everybody will prolly be doing it...

[850PoPo]

Its gonna be done

[scotty]

I will let u know final price of my Big Red reduction hopefully by the weekend. My local Honda dealer just outside of Jacksonville Tx is who turned me on to the Big Red reduction and told to me that it would be warrantied since it was Honda parts. Very unusual for anything non-stock. Especially from Honda

[torkmonster]

Maybe the dealers are gonna start selling the kits and installing them, with genuine honda parts, I can see how it COULD be warrantied, though prolly up to dealer on that one....
Maybe it is something honda realizes they should have done in the first place...

[850PoPo]

Yeah it's something that should have done in the first place now were gonna have to pay for it.

I am getting some work done on my trans already so all I need is the 3 Gears thats going to cost me 120.oo I should get it back next friday.

[850PoPo]

Not a bad price there Bob $120.00 around here might get u a oil change LOL

[indeep]

Well the gears are in! The plastic is not all on yet. I drove it in the parking lot and I am very happy with the change, One thing tho, when idleing it creeps ahead, why is this? My only thought is the 680 has a different torque converter could this be the problem?

[Disturbed Society]

Mine does the same thing. I'm not sure why it does that, but it has to be something to do with the TC.

Here is a short video of me testing them out in the mud this weekend

Nice vid! do you have the DL? All four tires seemed to spin all the time.

[Disturbed Society]

No, but if you it'll spin both everyonce in a while. It will do it most of the time if you hold the front brake too.
