They couldn't believe me that it was transferring, so the dye was put in, ridden and checked at the dealer. Evidence of transfer.

So they put in the seal (?) and whatever else they do.

When I got home, I checked the trans oil after it cooled. So far it is OK.

I just commented that the oil on the trans dipstick is red colored, not regular Harley trans oil color. Is it Redline? IDK...............

Again, tell your dealer you want a record of what was done, THEN YOU WILL KNOW and you can tell us instead of telling us WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW!

They replaced the seal with a similar seal, or a different one?
