Transmission Oil drained into Primary Case

Questioning Puke Can

Well my puke can I bought to catch the oil mists sent to the throttle body came into question. I highly doubt the puke can is the cause of my transmission transfer issues but they asked. They are still stumped.

Harley knows, And i'll bet the dealer knows that there is a problem....They Harley doesn't know why and or how to fix it......All the dealer has to do is call Harley, And the'll tell your dealer to level out the oil in the Trans and primary , And check it again in a thousand miles, Then if its still doing it, The'll install a cone shape plug/washer in the primary and tell you ride it for a thousand miles again...And hopefully it stoped transferring oil..

I'm in the process of second thousand mile test..

On my 3hd thousand mile test.....And its another failure....:mad:
 
I just saw a post over on Harley tech Talk. dealer drilled a hole in top of the primary, just slightly foward of the clutch. Installed a vent tube. seems to be a fix.

That being said there is a 42 page discussion http://harleytechtalk.com/index.php?topic=96613.0

There are alot of supposed fixes, But NONE that cure all as of yet

The MOCO does NOT seem to interested in solving this TOO bad this will only hurt future sales IMO
 
At this point i was advised to keep on bringing it in , Keep all records and keep quiet ....

About the next move...:cxtv:

Good Luck Bob, I am confident you will NOT let them BS you

I am going to run a vacuum gauge on my primary to see if it is pulling fluid thru the clutch My first guess is NO

I dunno how many remember the old primaries, they were a drip on the primary chain from the oil pump. The return was via sealed primary, the oil got returned to the tank, this was 1 reason Harleys marked their spot LOL

These primaries could be tested to hold vacuum to be sure the oil returned via a hose to the tank
