new toy!- dana 3spd transmission

[texasbigjon]

and for my 1000th post......a nifty dana 3 speed transmission that i scored off of ebay for $38! this one came with all the hardware too. ive been wanting one of these for years, but they dont show up very often. it will go on a steampunk themed stretch bike that im going to build for next years art-car parade. but first i`ll mount it on a test mule and have some fun with it!

I would be interested to know what the gear range is and how the efficiency is? I always though one would be cool to mess around with.

:shock: what a deal!!

 

[Rockit!]

WANT.

 

[Spokeshave]

Great deal. I've wanted to mess around with one of those for awhile.
Keep us updated on it.

Wonder if you could mate it to a Nexus 3/7 hub for 9/21 speeds or even simpler...a 2 speed kickback!

Cool find!

Cheers,

Looks like that case would polish up nicely...! If it was mine.. :wink:

Nice score! Personally I'd throw on a 3 speed sturmey archer and go to town!

Wow! 8) I never knew they existed.

I have one of these on my Klunker:

I like it. As Cman asked, they seem efficient enough. I haven't much uphill riding though...

i have a dana 3 speed for sale, missing the cables, if anyone is looking for one. i can text or email pics until i get them on here.

I have one still in the original shrink wrap packaging and I can't bring myself to open it to use it. Kind of a waste.
