Complete installation of the push rod covers.

Verify that the O-ring ends of the upper and lower
push rod covers fit snugly into the cylinder head and
lifter cover bores.

Insert the upper edge of spring cap retainer into the
cylinder head bore leaving the bottom edge free.

Insert blade of small screwdriver between bottom
edge of spring cap retainer and top of spring cap.

NOTE

For best results, be sure that screwdriver, spring cap and
spring cap retainer are free of grease and oil.

See

Figure 3-87

. While simultaneously depressing

spring cap with tip of screwdriver, use forefinger to
slide bottom edge of spring cap retainer down shaft
towards tip of screwdriver blade. As spring cap
reaches its full length of travel, spring cap retainer
should be in approximate position against upper push
rod cover.

Verify that spring cap retainer is seated tightly against
upper push rod cover.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

Compressed air can pierce the skin and flying debris from
compressed air could cause serious eye injury. Wear
safety glasses when working with compressed air. Never
use your hand to check for air leaks or to determine air
flow rates. (00061a)

Clean all parts with solvent. Blow parts dry with low pres-
sure compressed air.

Check gear teeth for damage. If gears are pitted, scored,
rounded, cracked or chipped, they should be replaced.

Inspect the engaging dogs and pockets on the dog rings.
Replace the dog rings if dogs and/or pockets are rounded,
battered or chipped.

Inspect guiding hubs. Replace guiding hubs if splines are
rounded, battered or chipped.

Inspect shift fork shafts. Replace if bent or damaged.

Inspect shift forks for wear or signs of overheating.
Replace a shift fork if it is excessively worn or shows signs
of overheating.

See

Figure 6-24

. Using a small carpenter's square, verify

the shift forks are square. If shift fork does not rest directly
on the square, then it is bent and must be replaced.

Inspect shift drum and bearing. Replace shift drum
assembly if drum or bearing are damaged.

Clean shift cam lock plate mounting holes in transmission
bearing housing.

10. Inspect side door bearings. Bearings must rotate freely

without drag. Replace the bearings if pitted, grooved or if
the shafts were removed.

Installing Side Door Bearings

NOTES

•

Always replace side door bearing if the shaft was pressed
out.

•

To perform the next step, you must use a plate for support
or the bearing door will be damaged.

•

When pressing new bearings into side door, press on the
outside diameter of the bearing side with the numbers
stamped on it.

Support the door from the opposite side at the bearing
bores with a flat plate.

Position

new

bearing over bore with number side UP.

Using a press, apply pressure to the outer diameter of the
bearing until the bearing is seated in the bore.

Wear safety glasses or goggles when removing or
installing retaining rings. Retaining rings can slip from the
pliers and could be propelled with enough force to cause
serious eye injury. (00312a)

See

Figure 6-23

. Install beveled retaining ring (1) with the

flat side next to the bearing.

Countershaft

NOTES

•

Replace retaining ring and all gear roller bearings with
new parts during assembly. Lubricate needle bearings
and races with Screamin' Eagle Assembly Lube (Part No.
94971-090 before installation.

•

Install securing segments so the side with the rounded
edge is facing up and the side with the straight edge is
down. Be sure segments fully engage grooves in counter-
shaft.

•

One side of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear lock rings have a
waved, stepped face. The waved, stepped face always
faces the securing segments.

See

Figure 6-22

. Install

new

needle bearing, countershaft

4th gear (4), guiding hub (2), dog ring (3) securing seg-
ments and internal splined washer (1) on countershaft.

See

Figure 6-21

. Install

new

needle bearing, countershaft

3rd gear (3), internal spline washer (2) and securing seg-
ments (1).

See

Figure 6-20

. Place countershaft 3rd gear lock ring

over securing segments.

HOME

2011 Touring Service: Transmission 6-15

NOTES

•

In next step, the side of the guiding hub with the deeper
counterbore faces countershaft 2nd gear.

•

Countershaft 2nd gear bearing is wider than other bearings
on the countershaft.

See

Figure 6-19

. Install

new

needle bearing, countershaft

2nd gear (4), guiding hub (2), dog ring (3) and securing
segments (1) on countershaft.

See

Figure 6-18

. Place lock ring over securing segments

with the stepped face of the lock ring against the securing
segments.

See

Figure 6-17

. Install

new

needle bearing, countershaft

1st gear (2) and washer (1).

NOTES

•

If installing countershaft only, hold countershaft 3rd and
4th gear shift dog up while pressing side door bearing on
to countershaft.

•

Failure to press on inner bearing races while pressing
bearings on the shafts will damage the bearings.

See

Figure 6-25

. Place countershaft in an arbor press

supporting countershaft 6th gear. Using a suitable socket,
press on inner bearing race until side door bearing con-
tacts countershaft 1st gear washer.

NOTES

•

Failure to press on inner bearing race while pressing

•

See

Figure 6-26

. Hold dog ring so that it is engaged with

countershaft 3rd gear during the press procedure. If press
is performed with dog ring engaged with countershaft 4th
gear, contact with mainshaft 4th gear will push shafts out

of alignment and result in possible bearing and gear
damage.

Place mainshaft in an arbor press, supporting mainshaft
4th gear.

Place rear side door bearing over mainshaft. Using a
suitable socket, press on inner bearing race until side door
bearing contacts mainshaft 1st gear.

See

•

The CROSS PLATE (Part No. HD-35316-3A) is stamped,
"UP 6 SPEED". Mount cross plate with this end pointing
up.

See

Figure 6-35

. Place CROSS PLATE (Part No. HD-

35316-3A) (1) on right side of transmission case as shown,
and secure with two screws (2). Position cross plate so

that large bolt hole in cross plate is lined up with center of
main drive gear (4).

Apply a light coat of graphite lubricant to the threads of
the 12 IN. BOLT (Part No. HD-35316-5) (3) and insert

nut until main drive gear is free.

NOTES

•

When removing the main drive gear, the gear is pressed
out against the resistance of the bearing inner race.
Without any support at the inner race, the bearing is des-
troyed. Whenever the main drive gear is removed the main
drive gear bearing must also be replaced.

•

See

Figure 6-36

. When the main drive gear is removed,

a portion of the bearing inner race remains attached to
the main drive gear. If the main drive gear is to be re-used,
this inner race must be removed first.

Remove tool and remove gear from gearcase.

HD-47932

Clean all parts in solvent except the transmission case
and needle bearings. Blow dry with compressed air.

NOTE

Never wash the transmission case and needle bearings with
solvent unless the needle bearings are to be replaced. Normal
cleaning methods will wash dirt or other contaminants into the
bearing case (behind the needles) and leads to bearing failure.

Inspect the main drive gear for pitting and wear. Replace
if necessary.

Inspect the needle bearings inside the main drive gear.
Replace the needle bearings if the mainshaft race is pitted
or grooved.
