 +====== 1965 XLCH Transmission Assembly ======
 +Article by scottericsonon of the XLForum ((https://​www.xlforum.net/​forum/​sportster-motorcycle-forum/​sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/​ironhead-sportster-motorcycle-talk-1957-1985/​85677-transmission-assembly-tutorial-w-pics?​t=657134)) \\
  
 +A used transmission bought from Ebay was disassembled and the parts swapped over to the original trapdoor. \\
 +The used transmission had all Andrews gears as well as the mainshaft and countershaft. \\
 +I put new main and countershaft bearings in my trapdoor so I could reuse it so I know everything will line up with my case. \\

 +Empty trapdoor. \\
 +I should note that while it was empty, I DID punch out the countershaft oiler plug so I can set endplay later. \\

 +
 +Mainshaft loaded in. You WILL have to pull it back apart again but I wanted to get the trans loaded just so I could see how everything fit together before I put the shift forks in. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_mainshaft_loaded_1_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_mainshaft_loaded_2_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\

 +
 +(L) Countershaft in too. Spin it a couple times and slide all the gears around to see that everything operates free. \\
 +Then tear it back down and then start reassembly WITH the shifter forks. \\
 +(R) Slip your C/S fork around it's gear (3rd) and get the finger roller in the cam. \\

 +\\
 +
 +(L) Then get your mainshaft fork in position and slip it's gear (2nd) in from the side. \\
 +(R) Slip your mainshaft into it's home thru 2nd and clutch gears and put low back on the countershaft not forgetting your washers (74 and up have 2). \\
 +Then go ahead and slide your fork shaft in and run her thru the gears a handful of times. \\

 +Here is the transmission completely assembled to measure clearances on the gears. \\

 +\\
 +
 +After you get it all together, run it back and forth thru the gears a handfull of times. \\
 +This is to get everything settled into where it's supposed to be (plus it's neat to see how everything works together) \\
 +Put it in neutral to measure your clearances. \\
 +(R) Measure spacing between C/S low and C/S 3rd like this. You want .038"​-.058"​ here. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic6_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic7_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 +
 +(L) You adjust clearance with these washers. \\
 +(R) Then measure between the dogs on C/S 3rd the face of C/S 2nd like this. \\
 +You want .038"​-.058"​ here as well. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic8_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic9_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 +
 +(L) Then check between M/S 2nd and M/S clutch gear .043"​-.083"​ of clearance. \\
 +(R) M/S 2nd and M/S 3rd .043"​-.083"​ here as well. \\

 +
 +Checking C/S clearance. I have .006" \\
 +Don't mind my redneck setup. I'm just a poor bastard trying to do shit on a budget. \\

 +Putting some pressure on the M/S to emulate the clutch being there and engaged. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic16_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic17_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 +
 +(L) Checking the M/S endplay. I have .006" \\
 +(R) Grab your shift shaft and slide it into its home making sure to have it level so it will go into it's pocket on the trans. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic18_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic19_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 +
 +Grab your M/S rollers making sure to COUNT THEM so you know you have all 23. \\
 +Goo up the race and your C/S bearing and put all 23 rollers into place. \\
 +MAKE SURE you put the flat washer in between the circlip and your bearing rollers!!
 +Did you check that it was there? Good...now check again. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic20_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic21_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 +
 +
 +I greased up the rollers too so they would stick real well for me. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic22_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic23_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 +
 +(L) Cross your fingers and slide the trans in. If it's in right it should ALMOST seat by hand. \\
 +At least it should start on the dowels. If not, try wiggling it some. It will line up. \\
 +Get your bolts in tightening each of them a little at a time so that your trapdoor goes in straight. \\
 +Then when they'​re all tight, pull them one at a time and put a dab of Loctite on them. \\
 +(R) Ok, next step. Grab all your kickstart stuff. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic24_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic25_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 + 
 +Slide the clutch shaft parts on with the collar first then the spring and the gear. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic26_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic27_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 +
 +(L) I thought sure I took one with the starter crank gear too but can seem to find it now. \\
 +ANYHOW install that it's tabbed lock washer and the nut tighten it up and fold over one of the lock tabs. \\
 +Get your primary shoe in with one bolt just to hold it in place while you're putting the chain etc in. \\
 +(I put a new plastic shoe on mine obviously) \\
 +(R) Gather up your primary chain, crankshaft gear and clutch basket. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic28_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic29_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 +
 +(L) This would be an EXCELLENT time to test your kickstarter to make sure it functions correctly. \\
 +Just put the clutch basket in place and hold in with your hand as your helper. \\
 +(or yourself if you can reach) cranks the kick thru one cycle. \\
 +Now get the basket back in along with the primary chain and crank sprocket. \\
 +Get the crank nut and the clutch hub in tightened up (150 lb/ft ). \\
 +Make sure you fold over a lock tab on your clutch hub nut. \\
 +Crank gear nut is 1-1/4" while the clutch basket is 1-1/​2"​. \\
 +(R) gather up your clutch parts. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic30_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic31_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 +
 +I had pulled the whole clutch as an assembly like this and left all the plates stacked while they were out. \\
 +Made the install VERY easy as all I had to do was flip the stack over and put in pieces one at a time. \\
 +Get the springs in the basket and grab your clutch release disk. \\
 +Then get your spring compressor started and sneak the clutch release disk down behind it. \\
 +(R) AS SOON AS you can get the locknuts started with 3 or 4 threads get them on there so the clutch isn't a loaded gun anymore. \\
 +Go ahead and get those all tightened up and remove your spring compressor. \\
 +It should be noted here that I have a 75 and as a result I have the spacers. \\
 +If you have a different year (I think pre74), you don't want to just tighten up those nuts. \\
 +There'​s a certain spacing they have to be at. \\
 +Once your compressor is out of the way, slap the bolt in the lower hole of the primary adjuster. \\ 
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic32_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic33_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 +
 +(L) Measure your primary chain slop and get that set to specs. \\
 +Then go ahead and button up the rest of the adjuster making sure you double check slack after all your pieces are in and tight. \\
 +(R) Ok, now let's move over to the right side of the bike for a bit. \\
 +Grab your drive sprocket, a tabbed washer for that and it's nut and a 1-1/4" socket. \\
 +{{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic34_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} {{:​techtalk:​ref:​svcproc:​1965_xlch_tranny_pic35_by_scottericsonon.jpg?​direct&​400|}} \\
 +\\
 +
 +Get that stuff on and tightened up remembering to fold the lock tabs over. \\
