Transmission leak   Printable Version Harley Davidson >> General Harley Davidson Tech Forums >> Primary/Transmission/Driveline/Clutch >> Transmission leak Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> Transmission leak - 5/6/2008 6:22:47 PM    EVOrider Posts: 1191 Joined: 2/13/2007 Status: offline The 1998 FLHTCUI has started leaking behind the pulley. It was leaking so badly that it was marking its territory after a ride. Anyways, as I was tearing into it....I noticed..... The nut holding the pulley backed off somewhat....it was finger tight. A very small looking spacer is loose on the shaft....I don't think it is suppose to be loose. The seal is currently removed.... I have decided to replace the seal, spacer, and O-ring. However, how do I remove the spacer located where the seal is? Can it be done without the special tool? Anyways, I could use some advise.... _____________________________ 1998 Electra Glide Ultra Classic EFI 1998 Electra Glide Classic 1998 FXDL Low Rider 1999 FXDS-CONV- SOLD http://www.hdtrader.com/56805 http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t217/teaffns/DSC00217.jpg Post #: 1 RE: Transmission leak - 5/6/2008 7:50:55 PM    hounddog Posts: 388 Joined: 2/13/2007 From: Queen Creek, Az Status: offline the only reason i see it being loose is the same reason its like that on dirtbikes. the sprocket floats on the shaft to detuor derailment. but i think thats only for chain setup but id check around (as you are doing) and see if this is soo, my guess is your right it should be tight, as for the other spacer you speak of me know no?? sorry _____________________________ Hound-dog out!!!

I've replaced it now and have everything bolted back together. Not leaking a drop now...hope it is fixed now. _____________________________ 1998 Electra Glide Ultra Classic EFI 1998 Electra Glide Classic 1998 FXDL Low Rider 1999 FXDS-CONV- SOLD http://www.hdtrader.com/56805 http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t217/teaffns/DSC00217.jpg (in reply to hounddog) Post #: 3 Login OR Register now to post a reply to this forum topic.
