Default Transmission probs.

Hello new here first timer anywhere. Long time rider tho. Currently I have a 2006 Swift Barchopper w/117 SS
and a 2001 fat boy.
im having trans. Problems with the Swift (leaks oil, pops out of 5th 3000rpm, shifter now flops .)
Been looking at various trans. but not sure where to go. I do ride it hard bu also cruise, I’m not afraid to tear into it when I know
what I’m into. Fist time tearing into a trans like this! I like o wrench.
Any suggestions on the trans.?

Welcome from Hampton Roads Virginia, USA!

Just in case you have not done both of these two important items!

Be sure to add an Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER set up for the small picture others will see in the top left corner of your post with your USER name.

And most importantly a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike model, year, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with that others see at the bottom.

This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question or another member interested in it may ask you a question about it.

Your all set.... Enjoy the ride! ______________
