yama trike with bad sub trans?

[tri again]

Got an email from a lady who has a trike for sale but the
'secondary trans' blew up' on the first ride.
Whatever that means.

Any ideas before I call her back?
other than what IS it? year/model etc.
She called it a yamaha shaft 3 wheeler .

Anything special I should look for when I go over there?


Thanks

problay a 225 dx or dr if she means the shaft blew up i wouldnt get it unless you have another great rear end.. the shaft drive can be expensive to fix even with used parts

I think she bought it, saw the 'shaft (drive) sticker on it
and is calling it a yamaha shaft.
She might not even know it has no chain.
but her comment about the secondary trans blowing up
makes me think of a honda subtrans like the hi lo of a 90 or 110
or the actual subtrans of a 84 big red or 125m
with the extra gearbox and reverse bolted to the side of the orig
models.

idk
I just want to be careful when talking to her.
Sounds like she's ready to push it into traffic. so I'd like to give her some hope.

how much is it?? if its cheap enough just pick it up... could be something simple

yamahas didnt have the hi/ lo or reverse sub trans. my guess would be the differential. if its cheap get it
