For some reason could get pics to attatch.... so here's link to my album where pics are

given that the engine is swingarm mount, i'd go with morse cable off a simple lever handle. hardest part will likely be to make up some sort of detent for each position to prevent accidenmtal shifts.

Ok thank you for the reply..... I am trying cable but the shaft were cable hooks up,but it will hit aft end of transmission,it still moves back 1\4 inch....ill try adding pic I can use cable but I believe I need some type of bellcrank and cable sytem..... it sucks to get out to put in reverse.

Here is a walkaround of a TRX200(same engine) transplanted into a hard tail buggy frame. I know it is a linkage type, but its food for thought, and ohh so pretty.

Awesome exactly what I'm looking for now you got parts list lol.... thank you very much

Ohhhhh if you have any measurements of bellcrank or tie rod lengths that would help ...

the traax2 in the vid belongs to mbn member daaboots. there's a little info over there, he didn't do a build thread on that one but i'm sure would hook you up with the info. also metalstudman (he's been "off the grid" awhile) on here has pretty much done essentially what you're working on. http://www.buggymasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1290 .... posts 68 and 69 have pics of two of his setups.

Thank you ill look into it....

Ok x bird.... I found daaboots and his videos have posted or tried but it says comment limit reached. If uj have way of contacting him... will you and have him contact me here or teelmichael55@gmail.com

Thank you

fouund his thread on it ... about halfway down is his engine mount crossbar and i'm pretty sure that's his shifter cable threaded into it vertically.
