Clutch rod on 6 speed gear set
I have a 95 FLHT with an Accessories Unlimited South 6 speed gearset mounted in the 5 speed box.
The bike ate the clutch release bearing and buggered the clutch rods with it.
My local HD dealer did not have anything except the cover gasket in stock. Big suprise.
I ordered the parts from J&P for the 91 to current big twin models.
The left side adjuster is the same. The center rod is the same. The right side is a little bit shorter. Maybe 1/8".
I would think that the left side adjuster would be able to deal with the difference.
I asked the guy I bought the bike from about the tranny mods. He said that the oil slinger is not necessary for the six speed and should be removed but he is not the one who installed the gear set. I removed it but there is a large flat casting a bit larger than the thrust washer.
I put it all together and tried to actuate the clutch. I pull the lever and it goes about half way and it stops. It does push the left side out a little but not enough to release. The left side adjustment has been done.
I think the flat on the right side is stopping it from releasing.
Does anyone know what part # I need to use on the right side?
Thanks,

RE: Clutch rod on 6 speed gear set
I figured it out on my own. Here is what works, in case someone else needs to know.
87 to 89 right side rod for release bearing will fit. It is a little short, but the adjuster will take up the slack.
