ABSTRACT:
A transmission for a motorcycle utilizing an automotive engine. The transmission has a torque converter that serves as a fluid coupling to the engine and multiplies torque at low speeds. A valve is manually operable as by a foot pedal to lock-up a pressure plate in the converter when a predetermined speed is reached so a direct mechanical connection is established between the engine output and the transmission power output via an axially extending main shaft. The transmission power output includes a bevel gear arrangement which drives an output shaft which is 90.degree. with respect to the axis of the transmission.
