I finally found the right deal on a good 660, so I am tearing down my baby and giving her a new heart...
I got the cage, seats and bed off the first night. Then the hard work began... As I tore into the 450, a couple differences were found between the 660 the 450. For the most part it should be a pretty easy swap. The biggest thing I have found to be different is that the floor pan for the 450 has a hole where one of the engine mounts on the 660 goes. The ducting is obviously different for the cvt breather and engine fan. The only wiring that I have found that is different what I think is the shift indicator plug. On the 450 there are 4 wires that come of the front of the transmission. Each has their own plug to the trans and goes to a plug in the harness. The 660 has 4 wires that come from one spot on the trans and goes to a similar plug in the same location.
I will get a friend to come over and weld up a cover for the hole where the engine needs to mount. How critical is the ducting for the cvt? Can I just leave it open at the end of the cover or do i need to replace the plastic ducting? Any ideas on the wiring?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
