Bushing in outer primary cover

So I installed the chrome engine kit on my 05 FXD and everything went well. It looks great! When I was cleaning up the take off parts, I noticed a steel sleeve (some sort of bushing for starter?) in the OUTER primary cover. I didn't notice before I installed the new chrome cover so I never checked to see if it was included on the new one.

I would rather not pull the primary cover to check but I will if I have to. Does anyone know if this "bushing" would have come installed in the new chrome cover? Maybe someone has one on the shelf waiting to be installed that they could check?

I appreciate the help guys and gals!

those are guide pin dolls, they have to be used when you replace it or it will get jacked, they allign the cases

Hey joe. Thanks for the reply. It's not the guide pins, I can take a pic tonight, but it looks like some sort of bushing for when the starter engages. It's just above the derby cover and behind it...if that makes sense.

You need the jackshaft bushing in the outer primary on your bike
33446-94A (about 3 bucks), or you'll waste a bunch of stuff you didnt want to tear up.

Thanks. I figured I needed it, just wasn't sure if it would have come installed on the new cover. I'll have to pull it off and double check. I'd hate to screw things up.

Might be worth a phone call to the seller or maker of the kit before you go to the trouble of pulling the cover off....
