On the 6 speed trans this seal needs to be recessed approx 1/8". If you don't drive it in the sealing lip won't be in contact with the shift shaft, which has a taper before the splines.
FWIW

Where do you get the seals from mate

[@harleyloco1853]

I use OEM bud so Harley have known folk uses other brands like James etc

[@brianjosephson9865]

also those shaft bushings wear out, they get play in them

[@harleyloco1853]

They sure do its not long before they have a little play in them again

[@jodyhodge2129]

Think that is my problem. I see the whole shift shaft rock before it actually rotates to shift the gear...seal leaking as well.

[@GoFastnLive]

Are you using a oem harley seal or different brand?

[@harleyloco1853]

I only use OEM

[@TheDynaGuy]

@@harleyloco1853 that might be a part of the problem. I’ve replaced them once on 2 different bikes with James gaskets seal. Many leak free miles since

[@harleyloco1853]

@@TheDynaGuy mine is leak free now also

Put tape over the teeth on the end of shift shaft. It will put cuts in seal.
