You have to buy the whole transmission as the gears are part of the counter shaft and not separate. You have to do what we all do. Buy a post 73 transmission and hope it is OK.
73 GT750 Ducati - 20%
72 T500J - 95%
09 Yam XVS950A
81 Yam XV920 - cafe conversion - 90%

I'll have to split the cases and check the gears, then look in to replacement gears from Nova racing then I think.

If your bike is one with the 1200cc oil capacity in the trans don't forget to to the gearbox mod to raise the oil level. I just did mine yesterday. I put a replacement transmission in with good looking 4th and 5th gears. Bike should be good for another 60,000 miles.
