What is the latest and greatest for the tranny transfer fix? Is the fat clutch rod working? Just turned 15,000 on my 2017 roadglide. Is $tonecold still selling his fix?

 

 

Please explain to me how having a fatter rod with a flat side is any different than a round skinny rod?

 

 

Thats what the engineers at the MoCo are also asking. Who cares if it voodoo magic, it does the job.

 

Thanks for the replies. Ordered a fat clutch rod, hope she works. Getting tired of carrying an extra bottle of tranny fluid everywhere I go. Now I know why I could not P/M $tonecold!

 

I was under the impression that HD finally came out with somewhat of a fix for this? That was how they discovered I had "The Fix" installed. This was under warranty.

 

 

Here's the technical explanation:
The 'fatter rod with a flat side' always works. The 'round skinny rod' only works sometimes.

 

I haven’t seen any description on why the “fat flat rode” works.

I’m thinking that since the issue is due to a lower pressure developing in the primary, it sucks from the transmission. Maybe some primaries leak a little pressure, and thereby didn’t develop enough vacuum to suck from the transmission. The flat side of the rod allows pressure equalization between the primary and transmission. They make it a bit thicker, because the stock rod does not have enough material thickness to create the needed flat, and it would also weaken it....

But, I could be wrong...I thought I was once...but I was mistaken.
