| * The shifter shaft extends out through the primary cover. The foot shift lever is attached onto the shaft splines at the end. The shifter pawl is attached to the shifter shaft allowing the pawl to pull or push the rotating transmission shifter drum into gear as the shifter shaft rotates. In the detailed picture of the pawl, the shifter detent plate has been removed to show the pawl and the end of the shifter drum with it's four protruding pins. | * The shifter shaft extends out through the primary cover.

| * 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.

((HD Tech Tip #47 dated March 1998)) If you find the pin height outside this range, replace the pins or the shift drum as necessary. |
