Shift Lever Situation

[Mad Dog Jim]

Meanwhile back at the ranch...

I took off the shifter and it was crusty and bone dry inside. Lubed her up with lithium grease and re-installed. Works like a charm! Return spring is fine as frog's hair! Happy boy...

While I was at it I flipped my shift lever so it's now inset instead of offset. I think I'm going to like the wiggle room for my big foot!

It will take a few shifts to get used to the new position on the shift lever, but the room is worth it.

Common problem when the lube washes out of the boss where the shaft goes through. You can just disassemble it and grease it too.

Glider wins again!

I LOVE doing my own wrenching. The knowledge is coming along thanks to the HDT crew. If I was just a rider this would have cost me $60. (1 hr shop minimum) Probably chargeme for the dab of grease too... LOL.

Thanks again guys.

what they said ! pull shaft , hit with a little sandpaper , and grease. that will do it .

Too bad they dont put a grease fitting on the shaft like the old baggers had, I would pull the shaft and lube it with antisieze once a year or drill and tap it for a grease zerk
