Agreed. I'd like to have a look at the video of the ring gear spinning on the clutch hub.

Ditto.
Could be, but I've never seen it.

Danhahn,

I haven't had a chance to get it back open. If I get time today I will make a short video of it so all can see.

No two ways about it; it's just like you said. I had my doubts but you were right all along. Despite being pressed on, I've never seen a ring gear spin on a clutch hub/basket like that.

Now it's just a matter of getting a new one and R&Ring it.

As they say, there's a first for everything. Now I've seen it. That would have not been on a list of things I would suggest to check. Now while not an extremely easy fix it's not that bad either. Wish you the best.

Nomadmax,


Entire new clutch assembly or just the ring?

Yesterday I pulled the primary off of my buddies 04 Ultra Classic becuase there was a knocking noise coming from the primary and the starter was spinning. As soon as I pulled off the cover the first thing I seen was the Jackshaft bolt was not threaded at all. I checked out everything else and everything was good. Reinstalled the jackshaft bolt and wha-la no knocking. And the starter seemed to working fine.

I'm obviously not NomadMax, but the first thing is to get the old one off and inspect it to see if the hub is damaged or just the gear. Then and only then can you decide what needs to be replaced. ME - I'd do the whole thing, not that expensive, $150 or so..

I concur with TSheff.

Do it one time, the riding season is approaching. Why do it twice?
