Part 2 Transmission Rebuild 1985 Sportster Ironhead 4-Speed Harley assembly

This is a assembly video of my 1985 Ironhead Sportster transmission. I had to replace the primary gasket to stop a leak and decided to check the trans to see what kind of shape it was in. This is the first time I have worked on a Sportster ever! One thing I forgot to video was checking the shift forks with a straight edge. It was an easy job so if your having problems, just go for it. Thank you for watching.

Original shift fork was trashed I replaced woth a standard size I guess it's wrong size

Sorry to hear that.

Hello sir. Thanks for the awesome video I’ll definitely subscribe, as it’s hard to find people who know about bikes as old as this one. I have one. I notice at about 2:07 in the video, that thick bushing (With the slits) isn’t installed. I see the slits are facing upward (at about 2:37 into the video). Is there a washer that goes with it? Up under it ?

@@CR-ch7wl is there an email that I can send the pic to? I paused the video and screenshotted it. I also highlight the part in red so you would know the section I was referring to

I watched my disassemble video of this transmission and it didn’t have the part you’re talking about. I put it back together exactly how it came apart. Check out the disassemble video and see if that answers your questions. If not let me know. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHPKhKWMqKmIjJosi=i5w_BDnqRQTHhAh0

I rebuilt mime using new bearings shift forks etc. Now.when I shift to 4th it grinds gears would that be a clutch issue or do I need a shim kit for forks

[@Rapsgarage]

I’m not positive but I would definitely check the shift fork alignment.

[@rileynelson1864]

I rebuilt mine using manual and video I'm grinding 4th it's not engaging could that be wromg size shift fork

Hello sir. I have a question about the springs that you installed before installing the shift plate. Would those have anything to do with having trouble finding neutral?? Thanks again for you awesome videos and knowledge.

[@Rapsgarage]

Most of the time when I'm having trouble finding neutral it's in the clutch basket. The clutch plates or the steel plates put grooves into the inter clutch hub or the outer clutch basket. When this happens the plates get stuck in the grooves and they won't release. If you think your springs are bad just replace them, they are cheap enough. I hope this helps. If not hit me up again.
