tranny is going back together and have a question on the shift pawl. There are 2 springs, which is the one that fails, and can cause gear damage when the broken part falls inside?



I figured it's the upper one (item 35 in the pic), since it's smaller gauge wire, so I've replaced it with new, but thought I'd ask before I closed things up. If the other one is the one prone to failure, I'll have to run to the dealer and get one.

 

the big one #29

 

that figures...thanks D

 

replacing the little one is a good idea too if that spring is weak it will cause all sorts of shifting problems like false neutral and not shifting unless you hit it a few times.

 

gotta remove the assembly to change the bigger spring, but that will allow me to change the seal. too (which I've got on the bench)

 

Durn Big D, is there anything you don't know? You the man.

 

I was just looking at that picture and it hit me. your working on a twinkie those springs don't fail like the older ones. you probably don't need a new one unless you really want one

 

Go back in with an 01 and later shiftdrum, pawl, pawl spring, and a trap door if you want to tear it down that far.

 

hes working on a twincam it already has the upgraded parts

 

yeah, it's my 06, but I'd never get any good advice if I lurked in the Touring forum
