Will this work for a 3 speed front gear?

If I understand you correctly, yes this shifter/ break combo will work for the 3 gears that are on the crank side of your bicycle. On a side note the quality for the price is out-freakin-standing!

This will not work with 7 speed. It's got narrower teeth, matching a 9-speed chain. Will not shift properly.

No these are 2 speed for the front sprocket and 7 speed for the rear sprocket.

Yeah, it will fit. You will need a 9 speed chain for sure. The front shifter on a 4300 is designed for an 8 speed, so you can tweek the derailleur until it just barely works, or buy a new 9 shifter too.

It works with a 3 speed crank if you only want to use two of those speeds. That is what I did, but I always use the two tallest gears and never the low. They have good adjustability, with a 2 up and 3 down setup. If you set the two up positions correctly, using the half down can allow you to avoid having your chain rub on the guide, but is not enough to allow for use of all three gears.

Ya you should be fine. I have an old schwinn I put it on and its only a 5 speed but it also is only 14-28 teeth and there looks to be plenty of room for an extra gear

The left shifter is two speed friction, I haven't run a triple with it but you may be able to rig it; the right shifter is 7 speed indexed.

yes,this will work on an 8 speed sram chain. I have used it myself and it works just great.

It is designed to go by the size of your front tire. So yes ot would work for your bike.

it can be set to front or down, watch cable routing, yes 3 speed works just make sure you have clearance between chain rings before tightening

Hello Edward, I would think not. This part is only responsible to engage 4WD and would not do anything about 3rd and 4th gear issue. -Bill

Yes, it will. You won't get the benefit of being able to gear up but there is a tensioner for the rear wheel that will give you resistance. Hope this helps.

It should, I used it for MTB single speed conversion. At the time and still might be, it was marked as free return, for the price it's great too. Good luck.

This will work with any chain that has 1" links,which is about 99.9 % of the chains in common use. (To be certain, just measure your chain from the center the of pin on one end of one link to the center of the pin on other end.) The number of gears is irrelevant: I've used it on 6, 8 and 10 speed chains (all Shimano). This is an excellent tool, by the way.

7-8 speed refers to the rear gears on the cassette. That's what really matters here. If the back has 7 or 8 gears, it will work. They come up with 18/21/24 by multiplying the number of front gears (usually 3) by the number of back gears. 3 x 7 = 21 or 3 x 8 = 24. Frankly, I don't know how they come up with 18, because that would be a 6 speed rear.

The crank should drop in OK as long as your frame can fit the bottom bracket. As for the shifting, your 3 speed front shifter should be just fine. I have not come across one that has differed yet in movement.

It will, but not as well as you think. A 6 speed freewheel has a larger cog distance from the next one, and a 7 speed freewheel/cassette is much closer. However, there are alternatives you can buy (Shimano Revo Shift 6 speed or SRAM MRX Comp 6 speed) that will match performance well. Also, when you get the indexing and limits correct, give the shift cable a good stretch, then readjust the indexing if necessary. This stretches the cable before leading to future shifting problems. As for the front, it will work perfectly.
