Moving an Evo Dyna Driveline into rigid frame

Do we need to swap the rubber mount Dyna for a softail transmission to make the 5speed work In a v-twin 51-1948 frame

I have an opinion. Was told by someone with a phone my opinion was not important. They knew.

So...

Is there a tranny plate for a 1995 Dyna 5speed to mount in a 4 speed rigid frame?

If you have a four speed frame, you will need a Softail transmission case and a transmission mount plate that will position it correctly in the frame. Paughco offers such a plate.

You will need a Softail inner primary to match the transmission case as well.

The last one of these swaps I have seen needed the transmission top cover cut and patch welded to clear the seat post in the frame.

You might want to run a open primary when using a V-T frame ...

Reason being the alignment between motor and trans is out in left field due to the motor mounts welded in at a tilt..
Motor will be sitting in the frame tilted to the front with the front rocker box almost touching the frame legs and a huge gap between the rear rocker box to seat post ....

Also doesn't the Dyna trans case bolt to the rear of the motor case ... ???

So...

I was right!

There is no tranny plate to make a Dyna five speed bolt into a 4 speed frame!

Yes!

In this case,

I actually hate being right. I did stop the parts from being ordered (and I’m not sure I wouldn’t have had whatever frame was ordered make a stop in Raritan with Mike47)

I told them there was no simple bolt up solution for the Dyna Evo. Softail Evo? Yep. Evo motor? Yep. Dyna Evo Drivetrain? I don’t think so, but I’d love to be wrong.

You can use a Softail tranny ...

Or a five in a four A/M case ...
