Thanks I appreciate it. It saves on bench space and everything is always in the right order. I started using it after the first couple of 5 speeds I rebuilt. Old wrenches like us always find the easiest way to do things.
Hey tinkering can you tell me how hot should my harley oil run at ..my 2002 1200 harley run at 1.45 f and my 1993 soft tail 1340 run at 1,65 for on the same day at the same time side by side same speed
Hey Clark, thanks for the question. The 1993 should run at 180 F completely warmed up. The sporty I can't tell you, since I haven't touched one since the 70's. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Hello from Athens Greece and thank you for the great videos! I have a question about the gear box. i have a 2000 XL 883 and sometimes when i am in first gear and accelerate, it seams like the gear disengages for a second and then it continues working good. This happens only in first gear and not all the time, maybe once in a day and i ride the bike daily in traffic. I read in some forums that it could be the first gear countershaft that might have a problem. Bike has less than 20.000 kms on the clock. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks for the question, I've run into to this problem before and the ones I ran into were a simple fix. I always go after the simple things first, I'll run them down for what to check. First check your clutch cable make it's adjusted correctly, 2nd check your shift linkage to make sure nothing is loose or binding. 3rd check the adjustment of the clutch to make sure that's adjusted correctly. Last change the transmission and primary oil. Do refill the trans or primary with engine oil which is what Harley recommends. Use a good primary/trans oil instead. The motor oil that Harley recommends is to light for a transmission. Also I change the transmission and primary oil every 6000 miles. In each case I've dealt with the problem you described this has fixed it. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Hi mate .I'm going to make my own tool for removing the gearbox mainshaft race .I'm wondering if you would be able to tell me the outside and inside diameter of that race bush ? That would be a great help if you could thanks. Your vids are amazing I save every one of them .please keep em comming there great 👍 take care.
Thanks for the question. Unfortunately I don't know the inside and outside dimensions on the race. I don't have one on hand that I can measure. If memory serves the main shaft is 3/4 if that helps. Wish I could be more helpful. Glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching
Hey tinkering, I just had my 04 TC88 grenade at 110k miles. Just picked up an 02 TC88 from a dyna and am gonna be swapping them out. In the process, my original trans(I know the dyna one won’t swap in) had been clunking in third and I’ve heard I can just swap the gearset out so I’ll be doing that. Saves me buying a new transmission and my shift shaft out of the original was shaking like a leaf so I know that was gonna be gone soon haha. Think I got a deal on this one since it’s only got 8k miles on it and some cam work done. Won’t know fully till I’m in there over the next couple of days. Any advice or tips for the whole transmission gearset swap area? Really just want it back to smooth shifting. Thank you!
Thanks for the question Dylan, sorry to hear you puked the engine. But now you have a 02, it's a better motor. It has a timken bearing lower end the 04 didn't, so you have a great deal with a low mileage motor with a better bottom end. Ok the gear set is inter changeable. This is what I would do since you're trans has over 100,000 on it. Use the main drive gear outa the dyna trans since low mileage and matches the gear set. Replace the main shaft bearing and seals, replace the counter shaft bearing in the case and the pawl shifter and seal. You'll have a complete low mileage trans than. Hope that helps you. Thanks for watching
Thanks for thinking about me my friend, means a lot to me. You are right I watch every video you make. Keep it up.
No thanks needed, just get well so you can ride again.
You know when I was a heavy duty mechanic I rebuilt a lot of big power shift transmissions and your idea of the stand is a very smart idea.
Thanks I appreciate it. It saves on bench space and everything is always in the right order. I started using it after the first couple of 5 speeds I rebuilt. Old wrenches like us always find the easiest way to do things.
Thank you so much. Just got the locknuts off and about to do this now. Always helps to see it done first 😊
Glad the video helped, thanks for watching.
Outstanding video.Great step by step on how to disassemble.👍👍👍
