Dreaded shifter seal
 

Elvis, my 2011 Road King Classic developed a leak that's drove me crazy for the last 2 years. Finally narrowed it down to the shifter seal.

Ugh.

I don't know if I want to get into that in my garage.

Removing everything in front of the seal and re-installing takes a lot more time than the seal replacement itself.

I don't know if I want to get into that. I've got too much going on right now. I think I'll risk carrying the Coors Light virus and take it to the dealer.

When I went in to do mine I found it was the quad seal. Be sure to check that while you have apart.

So the quad seal seals the quad?

Number 9 in this ficsh?

Or maybe number 14 in this one?

#9 on that first one is the inner primary seal. I just replaced that one on my bike recently.

#14 on the second one is a snap ring, not a seal.

I think you wanted this diagram. #14 maybe the seal your meaning?

#24 is the shifter shaft seal

I had a leaking shifter shaft seal AND a leaking quad seal. Number 13 in the transmission gears tab


The bearing race can walk into the seal and cause a leak.

That's what I was trying to go for...


Sadly I too know the pain of a SSS leaking.

I didn't feel like dealing with it right now. I cheated and took it to the dealer. All fixed for now.

:thumbsup:

So which seal was it?

Shifter shaft seal. Also had a rocker box leak on the rear, but the drip came from the shifter shaft
