Can anyone take a look at where the transmission mounts to the engine on the bullet and tell me if there are any washers between the tranny and engine. I don't...

Hi Tom, i just looked at the site and can tell you that it will cost 171 Euro, that is a bit more than I paid 2 years ago. If my memory serves me correct it...
