Default RE: 3rd inner primary leak !!!!

Hello everyone, new member here. On the primary, as of 4/4/04 harley sent a memo to their dealars. Inter primary and jack shaft seals are to be replaced with beter gaskets. why? Because the old ones leaked. They also told their dealers to use up all the old ones befor using the new improved ones. I've seen the new ones and they are far more better then the old ones. Also, you say this leak is coming from the front pully? Do you mean the the main transmision shaft? If so, that is the interprimary seal leaking. Put dye in your transmission to see if it is coming from the shifter shaft, or use red line transmission fluid. I have more but American Thunder is coming on, have to go. Go luck. By
