  • How to Harley Davidson shifter shaft seal leak repair. This demonstration is intended for Sportster Dyna and Softail models that are set up with a mid controls. The shift linkage travels through the primary and exits from the outer primary cover. However, they are prone to leak if the outer primary cover has been removed without replacing the shifter shaft seal.

    Hey Rocco - thanks for the videos. Question, on my 2000 sporty, after replacing the shift shaft (detent plate, springs, clutch etc while I was in there) I have some rotational slop in my forward controls and they don't seem to spring back when shifting. Operation is fine besides that. I hadn't thought of this til now but do you think the spacer and seal comes into play with keeping all of that rotation "stiff"? Wonder if I just have a worn shifter shaft seal. Thanks!

    This seal is annoying. My bike is a 2004 l, I bought it new and I’ve replaced this stupid seal several times already. Doesn’t remain leak free for more than a few years then slowly starts. I still love the bike but jeez all the stupid little annoying leaks on these bikes. Good videos Rocco!

      Happy to help. You will have to remove the shifter and your primary cover, compensator clutch pack and it's behind that.. If I have a video I'll send it to you. I'm not sure I might have a video on a clutch that will show a little more of that. Thank you for watching and for all your support Jack. Ride safe and have a great day. Sorry to say, I just took a look and I couldn't find a Clutch install video. I put that on my list must make one. Why do you need to replace your sportster shifter shaft?

    Is the shifter supposed to sit up against the bushing? Meaning the shifter holds the bushing which holds the seal? Because on 95 sporty with original mids, the shifter arm hits the case before the clamp side hits the bushing. I put a washer on before the shifter to take up space but its leaking again 3k miles later.

    • @TwoWheelRocco
      @TwoWheelRocco  2 роки тому

      The seal itself is pressure fitting. The spacer is to keep what you call a bushings to keep the shifter away from the casing. That's how I understand it.. What do you think. Thank you for your comment and watching.
