Does part#5 just slide onto the end of the rod?
I'm trying to understand how the assembly stays on the rod. The smaller retaining ring just snaps on part#5. I would think there's a groove in the rod itself?

#5 has a cup that you can not see in the illustration, the rod sits in the cup. there is no free play.

I've been wanting to order Greg's push rod for a while now, but have been dragging my feet. I don't have a Facebook account, I don't have/don't want a PayPal account and I live in Canada. After finding that Greg is now doing International shipping, I finally did something about it yesterday morning. Greg makes it pretty easy and I was done in about 10 minutes.
For anyone as slow/ignorant as me..... I sent Greg a message through my wife's FB account. He replied withing 3-5 minutes and sent a link to his PayPal account where I could place the order using my Visa (no need for my own PayPal account). Bingo bango done.
For anyone wanting to order from Canada, shipping is only $27.50 US for a total of $80.49 US. With yesterday's exchange rate, this came to $110.51 CAD.

Update at 1200 miles
Getting a late start to riding with a heavy outage season at work. At 1200 miles since I swapped it and there's no discernible drop/transfer. I haven't drained it and measured, but on the stick I'm showing right where i had filled it 1200 miles ago. Very happy with the results.

I purchased a replacement clutch push rod in hipes that it will help with the fluid transfer issues my road king is experiencing. I can't find a diagram in the service manual, or any vidoes regarding swapping it out. I understand how to do it on previous years but the nut isn't there now. Does anyone have a link or pictures that could help?
thanks
thanks

I doubt that would work. We're referring to the fat cluch push rod from Macomb County Choppers here in Michigan.

Once the issue was narrowed down to the pushrod, people began replacing their 1-piece pushrods with 3-piece rods from CVOs and were resolving their transferring issues. The "fat pushrod" that was mentioned above is a custom-machined 1-piece rod, and as such is cheaper than the CVO 3-piece. The fat rod serves the same purpose, and is easier to install since it is just a simple remove and replace.
