what year atc 185/200's shift upward?

[oldskool83]

hey guys,

i was wondering id anyone what year honda changed the down shifting pattern to the standard upshifting pattern? i found a 1986 ATC200s motor but i dont know how the shifting pattern is.

cany anyone sell me? i dont know where to find this information out. i am wanting to build a Auto 200X and i really like shifting the normal way.

i just need to know from what year the 185/185s and 200/200s motors shift down and what year shift upwards.

thanks
aaron

I know the 1983 185s shifts down.

1986 is up

[84honda200s]

im pretty sure its the 82 and 83 shifts up. i have a 84 and it shifts down.

[jason85atc250r]

pre 84's shift dome and 85 and newer shift up.

yep, 84 was down, later will be up

[oldskool83]

ok cool, thanks guys.

guess now i have to weight my options very hard, i am sure its easier to find the early year atc motors then later year ones.

that 85 200s at Larry's for $300 is one that shifts up. buy that and the chassis from me and you'll be set. if i keep what left of the 200s i'll drop the price of the 200x chassis.

jason what year is the 200S motor you got?

[jason85atc250r]

it's a down shifting one. everyone i have is that way.

Are you looking for a rebuildable engine or one to drop in and go? I have a friend with a spair upshifting 200s engine that ran 3? years ago when we pulled it but is smokes a lot. Drop me a pm if you are interested in it and I will check with him.
