What i was thinking is i can get a ca16 box for $385...down the track i would love to drop a ca18det into my pulsar. so my question is if i was to buy a ca16 gearbox now, will it be able to be used with the 18le and then with the ca18det later down the track?
I dont know if a CA box will bolt up to a 18LE. I looked at one the other day and it looks like it would fit, but i never tried it.
The ca18 and ca20 boxes are all identical. There are 3 different gearsets and 3 different diff ratios.
The ca16 box is physically smaller and weaker. Most people that put ca18det's into exa's blow the ca16 box and put in a ca18/20 box.
The ca16 box is cable and the ca18/20 is hydraulic, BUT some of the U11 ca18/ca20 came with cable clutch, and some of these were the same size as the ca16. the later u11s all have the stronger box.
