I dismantled the primary drive from my ‘77 fxe to investigate a tranny issue and found that the inner primary cover is very badly cracked all around the main shaft support bearing. It is beyond repair and I need to find another one. The number on the inside of my cover is 60620-74 with a 0 over the number. I saw one advertised with the same number but instead of the 0 over the number , there is a 2 below the number. The cover looks the same and , like mine, is designed for the mid control shifter. Does anyone know if there is any difference between the covers with these numbers?

Also, if anyone happens to have a good cover kicking around, I’m in the market. I’d prefer an OEM item as I’ve heard mixed reviews of the aftermarket ones. Is there a company out there that makes a good, well- fitting cover?

 

Cover??? or Inner... since you mention the bearing... must be Inner...
Not a usual thing to break an inner... but, My Friend can do it...His Tranny bolts were loose...
Far as I know... FXE is FXE and is also FLH!!! In those years..There is an FX [no E] inner... but you should recognize that there is no Solenoid Hole...

 

The difference is the fx has holes for the mid controls and the fl has no holes It uses floorboards

do you need a real one or can a re pop work I ask because two different numbers in cost

 

Ideally, I’d like to find an oem part as I’ve heard mixed reviews about repops. If anyone knows of one kicking around, please let me know. Thanks.

 

ebay? it also should slide on easy.if not loosen tranny bolts before installing
