67shovelhead tranny oil change
#4
big either slotted cap or it may look like a big nut on the kick cover... open the drain plug under the bottom of the tranny -- might be a hex nut might be an allen depends on who installed what.. its more to the kick side of the under part of the tranny.. get a can of brake cleaner and wizzz it out.. use either engine oil -- bel-ray 4 speed tranny oil -- some kick covers have a allen screw on the cover you remover that till the oil comes out-- its full -- they usually take 3/4 qt.. stand the bike up and keep looking in the fill hole till you see it start to cover the throw out bearing..
the bel-ray oil is red -- its NOT automatic tranny fluid its 4 speed oil but red-- it helps to ID whats leaking.. they leak from the main drive seal -- the main shaft seal -
theres a guy on ebay from canada who makes the hat looking spacer that goes in the main drive seal -- he put an "O" ring groove in them the stock ones dont have that -- also you can get a sprocket nut that has a seal in it also.. if you have a aluminum inner primary sometimes the nut hits the seal in the primary..
they also make a roller skate rear chain tensioner -- hooks right to the frame -- there a jem.. taks a bunch of the viabration out by keeping the chain tight.. works for me..
