bought a box of rusty panhead gears. One of them has an "R" stamped in it. Reverse? If these are from a 3 speed w/ reverse transmission, does anyone know how many are common to a 4 speed?

Re: panhead gears
Beck,
The only common gear to a 3&R and a 4Speed is the main drive gear, high shifter clutch, high gear shift fork, and the main and counter shafts. All other gears are unique to a 3&R. Any pictures?

Re: panhead gears
Beck ,
Pretty much all I see there are 4 speed gears. Too hard to see in your pic what the tooth counts are. In three speed and 3&R boxes the low gear is a sliding gear. There is not one in that pile. Also the low and second mainshaft cluster would have a beveled tooth profile to engage the sliding gear. It does not look like you have that. How many teeth are on the larger cog of the CS cluster gear?

Re: panhead gears
There are two "cluster" gears-both have 15 teeth on the small end and 20 teeth on the big end, (with 6 internal male splines).
The other cluster gear (with the spiral, speedo drive? gear) has 15 teeth on the small end and 19 teeth on the big end.
