I do not know where to get reverse, but if it is a question to add or not, I would add it for sure.

I would go with the original Yamaha kit. It may be more money but you get what you pay for Quality!

I've seen new Yamaha kits on ebay for around $200, but they aren't on there very often.

I got lucky. Paid $400, installed. Worth every penny - that lever tends to freeze, and sometimes you have to move forward a little to get it to go - but it beats the old lift-and-swing method. Make sure you pay attention when you put those 2 small gears, and spring together.

Good-luck!

i bought a service manual online..i have to take a good look to see if the install process is in there before i start ripping it apart.

When my dealer installed mine, he said it took approx. 4 hours to do it.. I wasn't charged for it, so I'm guessing he was telling the truth. I looked at the schematic and the parts kit. Holy cow, so many!
Have a look see. I say go for it.

And watch the plastic handle. Mine broke off at around -20F. Plastic doesn't handle cold very well.
