| * Be sure to carefully adjust the shifter pawl as outlined in the factory service manual. This procedure is critical to center it's travel of movement to create accurate gear shifts. You must use a #32 drill bit for accuracy - no other size works properly.

| * The shifter drum pins are an issue. Due to the engine heat cycles and the constant push and pull by the shifter pawl, the drum pins tend to come out (somewhat) from their mounting holes, causing the detent plate to skew from perpendicular. This causes stress on the detent plate retaining clip and causes excessive wear on the detent plate due to the skew. Whenever the shifter assembly is accessible, these pins should be homed into the shifter drum with a __minimal__ tap on them with a hammer & punch.((http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1675146)) | * The shifter drum pins are an issue.

| * The detent plate establishes the proper position of the shifter drum to keep the transmission in a particular gear, as well as to define the neutral position. The detent roller lodges between the lobes of the detent plate to resist slipping out of gear or neutral. | * The detent plate establishes the proper position of the shifter drum to keep the transmission in a particular gear, as well as to define the neutral position.

| * The original detent plate was upgraded in 1999 (P/N 33656-90A) to provide a more certain engagement of the gears and to make the neutral location easier to find. It is backward compatible.

| To increase the tightness of the oil seal (as often suggested by SportsterPaul), after installing the rubber washer, you might install one or two o-rings to take up the gap between the shift lever and the washer. The o-rings do not seal against leaking oil but, instead, they put additional pressure on the oil seal in the primary cover cavity, which does help to seal against leaks. | To increase the tightness of the oil seal (as often suggested by SportsterPaul), after installing the rubber washer, you might install one or two o-rings to take up the gap between the shift lever and the washer.
