| NOTE: There is a [[http://sportsterpedia.com/lib/exe/fetch.php/pdf-bulletin:tsb1350.pdf|TSB (M-1350)]] related to the 'NEW' Shifter Shaft Seal P/N 11000101 being installed with Special Tool HD-51337. The new seal has a 'garter spring' to help seal the shifter shaft from leaks. In this TSB, the following caution is made: If the tool is not used, install seal to a depth of 0.125-0.135 inches. DO NOT bottom the seal in the bore. Bottoming the seal will damage it and prevent it from sealing properly. (While this bulletin refers to Big Twins with 6-spd transmissions, this shifter shaft seal is used on other models, including the Sportsters.) | NOTE: There is a [[http://sportsterpedia.com/lib/exe/fetch.php/pdf-bulletin:tsb1350.pdf|TSB (M-1350)]] related to the 'NEW' Shifter Shaft Seal P/N 11000101 being installed with Special Tool HD-51337.

| + | The idea is that if you bottom the seal, the lips around the shaft will be pressed tightly against the primary cover and will not allow the lips to smoothly follow the movement of the shaft. Thus, the tight lips will be thwarting the 'sealing' aspect that the 'garter spring' is designed to enhance. | ||

| + | The clearance should be from the deepest edge of the seal cavity in the primary cover. The referenced instructions are for the BT models. Therefore, the Sportster models may not be exactly the same. | ||
| + | |||
| + | BUT, the principle still applies: Insert the seal slightly below that deepest edge of the cavity and don't bottom out the seal. That gives it the best chance to work correctly. | ||
| NOTE: Some owners have mistakenly gotten 2006-later covers and installed on 2004-05 engines. Neither stock shifter shaft seals would fit correctly, but purchasing an aftermarket seal, 12mm x 22mm x 5mm R23, seems to fit.((See post#15 from 93trident of the XLForum - http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2079676)) | NOTE: Some owners have mistakenly gotten 2006-later covers and installed on 2004-05 engines.
