TRANSMISSION CASE

REMOVAL

For information on pulling transmission case from frame, see

Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+)
cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable con-
nected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion,
which could result in death or serious injury. (00049a)

Disconnect battery, negative cable first. See

Remove upper and lower fasteners from seat post. Discon-
nect coil connector and remove the post with coil attached.

Remove transmission assembly. See

6.6 TRANSMISSION

ASSEMBLY, Removal

Position jack under lower frame crossmember to support
rear of motorcycle. Slide wooden blocks beneath the
crankcase to support the weight of the engine and trans-
mission assembly.

NOTE

When removing pivot shaft, make note of spacer position on
each side of transmission. Spacers differ slightly in length from
each other and must be installed on the same side from which
they were removed.

Remove pivot shaft. See

11. Mark splines on shift arm and shift shaft to assist in

assembly. Remove shift arm from shift shaft.

12. Remove four fasteners that connect transmission to

engine.

NOTE

See

Figure 6-50

. Do not use a hammer to remove transmission.

If the transmission sticks or binds on the ring dowels, gently
pry away from crankcase using the pry point.

13. Move transmission rearward until two ring dowels in lower

flange are free of crankcase. Remove transmission case
from left side of the motorcycle.

. Verify that transmission dowels are

seated. Place transmission case into position behind
crankcase. Mate engine and transmission flanges.

NOTE

Use new transmission mounting bolts when installing transmis-
sion case. Do not reuse old bolts.

Tighten fasteners.

Using a crosswise pattern,

hand tighten

fasteners.

Shorter bolts are installed at the top, longer bolts are
installed at the bottom.

Alternately tighten bolts to 15 ft-lbs (20.3 Nm) in the
same crosswise pattern.

Final tighten bolts to 34-39 ft-lbs (46.1-52.9 Nm).

NOTE

When installing pivot shaft, make sure spacers are installed
on the same side from which they were removed. Spacers
differ slightly in length from each other.

position. Fill transmission to proper level with fresh trans-
mission fluid. See

1.10 TRANSMISSION LUBRICANT

Do not overfill the primary chaincase with lubricant.
Overfilling can cause rough clutch engagement, incomplete
disengagement, clutch drag and/or difficulty in finding
neutral at engine idle. (00199b)

14. Fill primary. See

1.9 PRIMARY CHAINCASE LUBRICANT

15. Fill engine oil. See

DISASSEMBLY

Shifter Arm Assembly

See

Figure 6-52

. After removing bearing housing

assembly, remove screw (8) and shifter rod lever (9) from
the shifter pawl lever assembly (1).

Remove retaining ring (7), washer (6) and seal (5). Discard
retaining ring and seal. Pull shifter pawl lever assembly
out of the transmission case.

Inspect sleeve (2) inside transmission case.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

Compressed air can pierce the skin and flying debris from
compressed air could cause serious eye injury. Wear
safety glasses when working with compressed air. Never
use your hand to check for air leaks or to determine air
flow rates. (00061a)

Clean all parts in solvent except the case and main drive
gear needle bearings. Blow parts dry with low pressure
compressed air.

NOTE

Never wash the transmission case and needle bearings with
solvent. Normal cleaning methods will wash dirt or other con-
taminants into the bearing case (behind the needles) leading
to bearing failure.

See

Figure 6-52

. Inspect the shifter pawl lever assembly

(1) for wear. Replace assembly if pawl ends are damaged.
Replace centering spring (3) if elongated.

Inspect the shifter spring (4). Replace if the spring fails to
hold the pawl on the cam pins.

HOME

2013 Softail Service: Transmission 6-31

Thoroughly clean the oil pan with solvent.

Inspect preformed transmission top cover vent hose for
damage. Replace as necessary. Use low-pressure com-
pressed air to verify that hose and fitting are unobstructed.

Check bearing position.

From the outside of the transmission case place the
needle bearing open end first next to the bearing bore.

Hold the driver squarely against the closed end of the
bearing and tap the bearing into place.

The bearing is properly positioned when it is driven
inward flush with the outside surface of the case or
to a maximum depth of 0.030 in. (0.76 mm).

Install screw (11) and washer (10) into side of transmission
case. Tighten to 18-23 ft-lbs (24.4-31.2 Nm).

See

Figure 6-53

. Slide shifter lever centering spring (3)

over shaft of shifter pawl lever assembly (2). Align opening
on spring with tab on lever.

Place shifter shaft lever spring (4) on shifter pawl lever
assembly.

NOTE

Do not bend shifter shaft lever spring more than necessary for
assembly.

See

Figure 6-54

. Insert the assembly into the transmission

case.

See

Figure 6-55

BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM)

GENERAL

The BCM is located in front of the rear tire. The BCM supplies
ignition and accessory power to most of the vehicle. It controls
the lighting and other functions by using the switches as inputs,
and the power circuits for the lights as outputs. The BCM is
also connected to the CAN bus and shares information with
the other modules on the vehicle. See the electrical diagnostic
manual for more information.

H-DSSS ACTUATION

SIDECAR CONFIGURATION

Only Touring Harley-Davidson Motorcycles are suitable
for sidecar use. Consult a Harley-Davidson dealer. Use of
motorcycles other than Touring models with sidecars
could result in death or serious injury. (00040a)

ACTUATION

Actuation consists of assigning two fobs to the system, and
entering an initial PIN. The PIN can be changed by the rider
at any time.

Configure vehicles by assigning

both

fobs to the vehicle.

Configure vehicles by entering a PIN picked by the owner.
The personal code allows the owner to operate the system
if the fob is lost or inoperable. Record the PIN in the
owner's manual. Instruct the customer to carry a copy (use
the wallet card found in the owner's manual). See

7.7 PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN)

Once the system has been activated, it will always "arm" within
5 seconds of turning the ignition switch to

OFF

ACC

and no

motorcycle motion.
