what is involved in making an ATV go in reverse

Hi all, As some of you might know im a new guy and just bought a 1964 scrambler, it does not have reverse. I was wondering what would be needed to make it go into reverse. Thanks!

Well, one option is to put a different transmission into it. Both Jerseybigfoot and Joe M put a T-20 into their scramblers. You might want to get in touch with them to see how involved it is, and check out their member galleries to see pictures of the T-20 in a scrambler.

Finding a T-20 may be a bit of a challenge, since they are very well built and desirable, they are not cheep, good news is that your not-running attex probably has (or had) a T-20. Check to see if that is what is in there(just post a pic if your not sure, there are enough guys(and girls) on the site familiar with it to let you know.), as long as it's not a first Gen or very late model, it will be a T-20 in there. So if your not trying to get the Attex running also, you can use the tranny. (Telling you to dismantle an Attex? Wow, I am gonna get it for saying that! ) Let's just say "Borrow" the tranny, you can hunt down another to bring the Attex back to life soon enough.

Ok, Well the "attex" was actaully another scambler with an attex seat in it. (i knew they looked alot alike) so i really have two scramblers and no t-20's :-(

Im going to look for an attex for parts or maybe just a t-20

Thanks for responding.

Scrambler used to use an electric starter motor driving the transmission backwards to achieve reverse. It was kind of a goofy system, but it worked.

Don, you got me thinking, i'll have to look into some more.
