2000 E-glide transmission ?
So it looks like the trans on my 2000 FLHTC may have given up the ghost at about 190,000 miles and I'm tight on $ having just had the engine done (nice 103" build).
I see a couple of complete trannys on eBay from 1999 models for pretty cheap. I've read elsewhere that '99 and '00 are the same but when I click the eBay compatibility button it doesn't match, maybe just an eBay ad error?
What fits what? I've read that '01 and later don't bolt in without the later model primary. So are '99 and '00 the same? Might be why they are cheap as they fit 2 years only? I want to be sure the '99 will bolt in my '00 before I pull the trigger.
I'm thinking a complete used trans bolt in might be the cheapest way to get me up and running again if it'll fit.

The 99 and 00 tranny cases will only bolt up to the 99 and 00 model year inner primaries. There is a difference in the bolt pattern where the tranny bolts to the inner. Any transmission case newer than a 2000 will not fit unless you get the newer inner primary along with it. If you're just replacing gear sets and insides, then you have more options as for what years you can use.

You can check compatible part numbers on-line here. That link confirms a change in casing as described by dawg, so you need a 1999/2000 tranny.

I have a 97 electra glide with 186,000 miles.
A couple months ago I was at a stop light, light turned green, let clutch out, didn't go nowhere. Clutch pull felt normal. foot shifter felt normal. I also thought the transmission went out. Tow truck took me home and I put the bike in the rear garage.
2 weeks ago I put the bike up on the lift to tear the transmission apart. Pulled primary cover off and there were a couple chewed up pins that fell out.
Turns out that the primary chain gear is riveted to the the clutch hub. The rivets wallowed out the holes and their heads pulled out. The primary chains rear sprocket was just spinning on the clutch hub.
I just received a used complete clutch assembly off of ebay today ($150). I'll have the bike back on the road Friday night.
Hope yours is an easy fix also.

Why is that? I'm looking at a gear set from a 2001 Ultra for sale. Not the same?
