trans misson
hey everyone i have a book by antique cycle supply, supposed to be the manual. i tore down the tranny, it looks very shiny no rust. i have small chips on the shifter dogs and corospinding gears but it looks like i have plenty of bite to push the gear once its in gear. the shift clutches wiggle a little on the shaft. 3rd gear which used to whine has about 6 thousants clearance, according to my mittutotoyo calipiers which is the only thing i have to measure with. where main drive gear sets, the shaft measures 998 and the bushing was 1.004 giving me about 6 tho clearance.the countershaft showed about 1 tho wear on one side. which i plan to replace. i dont have a good way to replayce the bushings and ream. do you think it will be ok with this much play in them?

Re: trans misson
Your bushing is worn out and should be replaced.do you think it will be ok with this much play in them
The old bushing is pressed out and a new bushing pressed in.
The bushing is then reamed to 1.000 on a lathe.
Your Harley shop may have a press and lathe (mine does) or a local machine shop should.
