This thread seems to have taken two different paths, both about trannys, but only one about Harley Transmissions..

From what I can gather, there are like 4 threads that he has related to this, and it appears that the trans ran low on fluid.

The first thing was an odd noise when in neutral and only when the bike was leaned to the right. The noise made me check my fluids and the transmission was empty. Not a little low, not a lot low, empty. I've had no leaks and have had the bike barely 1 month when it started.
To you other gentlemen I apologize if the thread was vague I didn't want to beat it to death with going over the problem again but in a nutshell: is generally agreed that the fluid was drained during the pre sale service and not refilled. The noise got worse then i drained the fluid that I had put in it and there was enough shavings and fragments that I parked my month old bike and pulled the transmission with help from the fine fellows in this forum. Now I'm waiting for a new gearset to come in and I just ordered a carbon fiber clutch kit to go back in now just debating on which fluid to use.
