Primary/Transmission/Driveline/ClutchFind answers to general powertrain, primary and transmission. Have clutch issues and need suggestions? Post them here.
Yikes, hope the gears are OK. FWIW the aluminum hex head on mine was stripped by some PO so I replaced it with a Colony steel dipstick, got it from my local independent HD shop.
I knew I should have just cut the damned thing off many years ago, but I never bothered...
I don`t know why I never cut it off, I never check the lube level because it doesn`t leak.
The lube looks like the paint they used on the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz...
But probably not as toxic...
Wait a minute. With the primary you have to check the level by looking at it, but tranny you just dump it in?????
I have had leaks, and even had migration into tranny when sprocket shat seal was bad. Plus the M8s So I wouldn't cut. If a guy really wanted to cut it off and save old one.
My 5 speed if I remember correctly had wear marks from wear clutch cable moved across it. I think I replaced it on two of my bikes, though not sure if an issue on 6 speeds. 20 years ago there was a few threads about the sticks going down and destroying trannys.
