Default Transmission Growl/howl

Hi
I have a 2008 Road King FLHRC. I ride a fair amount, Myrtle Beach and Kentucky Bike Rally in Sturgis, KY.
The bike tranny is getting pretty loud and decided not to ride it til it's fixed.

Found a rebuild kit, JIMS 6-Speed Transmission Rebuild Kit - 1056,
https://www.denniskirk.com/141287.sk...DgQaAv6W8P8HAQ

I have looked at Baker Drivetrain but couldn't find anything similar.
Anyone use this kit??
Any advice on another kit??

Steve
