Pull the top off the tranny and remove the shifter assembly.
Remove the clutch mechanism cover and the trap door assembly (Use a puller or hide Mallet and replace the bearings before reassembly)
You can now wiggle the countershaft out of the way just enough to remove the shifter shaft assembly and get a magnet in there to remove any missing pieces.
Reassemble in reverse order but fit the seal and circlip before replacing the countershaft.
Its a fiddle but will save you 3-4 hours and a shitload of cash.
Would I be able to carry this process out on my 2007 Road King ?
I really want to avoid playing with the primary and other bits and pieces. My only question is, how do you replace the shifter pawl seal (if needed) without removing the primary case...?

This OP was asking about replacing the shifter pawl spring in a 5 speed transmission.
The latest poster is asking about working on a 6 speed transmission on a Twin Cam.
@bz78pl Start a new thread, give details of bike, and what the issues are.
