Here’s a couple questions for your guys:1. How much slack should be in the Harley shift linkage? The transmission shift pawl allen bolt is tight, but has a lot of free play!
2. When are you coming out with the removing and replacing a transmission? Dave F
Dave, the shift arm should be locked tight to the shift shaft. Sometimes the pinch bolt on the shifter arm may feel tight but if you can get a good bite on it with a good 1/4″ allen and a long handle ratchet, you may be able to snug it up another 1/2 a turn. If that does not work out, the shift arm is too worn and will need to be replaced. We are currently posting videos in the Harley Transmission Project Class. Thanks for your question.Related Videos:

I have a 2005 Electra Glide. First Harley, first time seeing this problem. The splines on my shifter pawl are stripped due to excessive wear from the shift arm. How hard of a job is it to replace the pawl inside the transmission?

I have issues on my 2000 Dyna with the shift arm falling off. The bolt that should sit into the groove on the shift shaft is engineered by HD to be below the machined groove so is totally ineffectual. Has any company or machinist ever remedied this issue. I looked at a brand new shift arm today at Harley Davidson in Oakland and it is made exactly the same way. Not very well engineered. JK
Shifter Chatter - 2008 FLHTCU - 48,022 miles When idling, the heal/toe shifter puts out a lot of chatter. I can rest my boot heal against the shifter and the chattering sound stops. I've been slowly going through the site looking for something similar but haven't found any answers yet. Insight please. Thanks - Gary in Hawaii
