  • Video-In this completely free DIY video we show you how to remove and replace a shifter lever shaft seal on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. It doesn't really matter the year or model of Harley, as this seal and setup has been used for a very long time.
    This shift lever seal can go bad and start leaking oil. To get to it, you'll need to remove your entire primary drive.

    Yup, we'll show you how to remove your entire Harley-Davidson primary drive, remove the shifter lever shaft seal, and then replace it. Then we show you how to put the entire primary back on. We'll also show you some tips and tricks along the way.
    Note: You'll need a replacement shifter lever shaft seal and appropriate primary gaskets and seals (shown in the video so check it out). You'll also need appropriate fluids to refill your primary drive.
    Save yourself a ton of money by not having to take your Harley to the dealership to have these types of projects done. You can do this right in your very own shop or garage and right on the kickstand. Plus, have the absolute satisfaction of wrenching on your own Harley!

    Great video guys, I’m just a young buck trying to work on my bike to save on cost of repairs to get a new shifter shaft rod. This is by far the most detailed, high quality video I’ve seen and it definitely helped a lot, you guys are the best!

    A video about replacing a shift shaft seal, but you do everything but replace the seal. Nice.

    I just changed shift shaft seal on my 2021 Roadking Special without removing inner and outer primary...lots of room to get at in on the M8...took me an hour and a half tops...removed transmission top cover..removed trans shift lever clip and washer. unhooked shifter pawl spring...lift pawl...pushed shifter shaft through towards transmission...bent a piece of welding rod...picked out old seal...popped out easily with with shifter shaft pushed in....push shaft back to normal position making sure shifter centering spring in place...heat shrink tube over the shifter spline and oil up...slip new seal over shaft and set into place with a 1/2 inch socket levering with a screw driver. Replace everything back in reverse order of disassembly...good to go. M8 has lots of room between primary to get at it.

    Some Dyna riders have gone to 13.5 to 14 inch shocks and a 2" fork tube increase for proper ground clearance. That will certainly help taller riders.

    BEST Video I have seen brother! Great Job, and thank you, saved my butt with this video, I need to change out the Shift Assembly, had no idea!

  • @Christofuzz-hc9xl

    I'm switching to mid controls from the factory fronts on my 03 wide glide and need to do alot of this, including entirely swap the inner primary to one which actually has the hole going through it to accommodate a mids gearshift. So, fk yeah man, thanks for this, it makes it seem do able. Respect

    I think the clutch inspection cover screws require a # 27 Torx, #25 will strip out, at least on my 2012 Road King. Good video of what was to me a scary job.

    IT COST ME 800 PLUS FOR THE COMPENSATOR REPLACEMENT. THE PRIMARY LEAKED AFTERWARD. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE SHIFTER LEVER LEAKING FROM TRANSMISSION. I NEVER LOST FLUID FROM TRANI, JUST PRIMARY. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK NEW SERVICE MANAGER, I WAS TOLD BEFORE "IT MIGHT BE THE INNER PRIMARY." ANOTHER 340 DOLLARS. THEY STILL CLAIMED IT WAS THE SHIFTER SEAL. THE COPENSATOR SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE SERVICE MANAGER, FORMER, SAID, "WE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM." THEY USED THE 88 COMPENSATOR FOR THE 96 ENGINE . THEN THE REPLACEMENT ONE HAD TO BE UPGRADED TO THE SCREAMING EAGLE ONE AS THE OTHERS FAILED. I ONLY POINT THIS OUT AS YOU SUPPORT MY COMMENTS. I LOVE MY HARLEY BUT MANAGEMENT IS GOING THE WAY OF GM. HARLEY IS NOT AS BIG AS GM SO MUCH EASIER TO FAIL. I DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT. I HOPE SOMEONE FROM MANAGEMENT SEE'S MY COMMENT HERE.
