Engineering updates to drive train and exhaust system
Equally spaced spring steel straps riveted to the cover assembly and bolted to the pressure plate ensure full pressure contact with the driven plate for torque transfer. In gearshift models, syncro mesh transmission durability is enhanced with shot peening of all gears after hardening and introduction of needle bearings on the counter gear shaft. The 30 inch muffler replaces the 16 inch on closed body models with three resonant chambers to damp vibration, reduce back pressure, and improve engine efficiency.
