Shift banging?

[vito]

Every once and a while when I go to 1st from neutral it won't make a sound ' Now that really sacreds the crap �� outa me! I thought something broke ����

I find that my '17 slips into 1st quietly if I wait a second or three to shift after pulling in the clutch. Otherwise, otherwise.

I can't really remember if my first Ultra and Wide Glide clunked this loud or not. My last Ultra (2013) before the Trike did when it was warmed up, which is really all the time in SW Florida. But my Trike is really loud, I swear you can hear my gears clunk a block away! I'm sticking with Syn-3 until warranty is up probably.

Have a look at Redlines oictures of the gears bluednd blueing on the shifter forks fro using syn 3 or other oils, it is quite a good read with the pictures

Had a HD service manager tell me he uses Red Line tranny and primary fluids in his personal bike. Good enough for me........ThumbUp

I bought a 17 TG last month and will be taking it in soon for the initial 1k service. After reading through this thread and the link to the redline tech document, I'm wondering if I can request Redline Lube for the Engine, tranny, & primary? Will HD Service balk and force me to use the house brand only?

At my 1000 mile service i requested Lucas full syn in the engine and Bel Ray in the trans,they said no problem.

Not even HD can force ANYTHING on you

It is ILLEGAL unless they offer it for free

If they say it will VOID your warranty you got them

Randy and I talked to the service writer at our dealership and he told us they use the RED LINE for the Bikes out here.

Knowing him and having dealing with him for the last 3 yrs his word is good enough for me. .

This is our 9th Harley and It never bothered me before but I think time to see if it works next time. Thanks for all our comments on this subject ThumbUp

That is 1 of the reasons I traded my 15 in

The salesman said here ride this M8

I did, he said did u hear that

I said WHAT?

Exactly, even with Formula plus in the tranny it did not clunk

After I got it home I changed the tranny to gear oil and it shifts even better now
