Video-In this free DIY video we show you how to remove your Harley side transmission cover and disconnect & then replace your Harley clutch cable assembly inside. Make sure you have a new gasket ready to go and some oil/fluid to replace what you loose when removing the side transmission cover.
2014 & newer Harley Davidson's have hydraulic clutches, so this side transmission cover is just for looks and you'll lose no oil when removing it. There is just a bleeder valve for the hydraulic clutch line hidden behind it.
Save yourself a ton of money by not having to take your Harley to the dealership to have these types of projects done. You can do this right in your very own shop or garage and right on the kickstand. Plus, have the absolute satisfaction of wrenching on your own Harley!

great video Ryan. well explained!

[@Earth_wind_dan_fire]

Thank you so much for making this video. Being new to this, and wanting to learn how to fix things on my own, this really helped. Thank you

[@MrMedicAdnan]

I reused the original gasket when I was changing my clutch cable and this evening I noticed couple of drips on the floor. Now I have to drain the oil again, most likely have to buy a new quart and lets not forget about removing the pipes. Moral of the story CHANGE YOUR GASKETS ...

Very sorry to hear but thanks for the honest, painful truth.

[@jonathangreen998]

Or if you have a tube of black silicone gasket maker, just smear a thin layer on both sides of gasket, so long as the original gasket isn't damaged

[@jkghbay6632]

Hey just noticed trans leak on clutch cable from clutch housing, would that be from a worn o ring on clutch cable do you think? Thanks

[@ernestwilson4897]

I've noticed that my clutch cable as got a little oil on it. Went for a ride the other day, went to back up to park had handlebars trund all the way to the right and clutch wasn't working. Dao I have to take the cover off to check the tightness of the cable?? Thanks in advance

[@jeffreypettengill1515]

Just took my cover off whats the lock washer that was loose in there. & how I get the throw out nut off tons force ?

[@kmurray96]

Ryan, what is the secret to getting a new clutch cable into that case on a 2015 FLHP? My son and I tried for 2 hours to get it to screw on. It's not even trying to cross-thread. Does a new cable not fit a 2015 case?

[@bartjans2540]

hi...i'm having a problem. I just replaced the gasket because of a leak...put everything back together, but now the bike doesn't ride anymore. put it in gear release the clutch and it doesn't go. i've tried to adjust the cable but nothing works

[@salisburyplain998]

Hi Ryan,your channel has been so helpful thankyou ,I take delivery of my first ever Harley a 2017 Fat Bob,I have one concern ,I have arthritis in my hands and find the clutch a little stiff compared to all my other bikes ,is there a way to reduce the effort required ?

[@RyanUrlacher]

Glad to hear our channel has been helpful. Congrats on the new bike! There are reduced effort kits for the cable clutches. I'm not aware of any kits for the hydraulic clutches yet.

[@blakelucas2365]

Thanks guys, had a leaking o ring on trans cover housing so watched your video and did the repair myself, saved myself AUD $800 dealer repair quote

[@RyanUrlacher]

Right on! Glad we were able to help you out.

[@mikind7]

Great video. Have you ever tried doing this replacement with removing the exhaust?

[@Gowergulch]

I just did on my ‘13 E Glide with stock headers. I used Snap On Allen wrenches; they’re small enough to fit with just the heat guard off. And with the bike on its stand you don’t lose more than an ounce of transmission fluid.

[@justinmechanic7162]

Should be able to pull this cover without removing the exhaust I’m assuming. Replacing my clutch cable in a few days. Don’t want to wait on exhaust gaskets.

[@ravisoodi]

Great video Ryan. Slight problem I'm having though, I'm trying to put the new clutch cover on but the cable wire doesn't stretch far enough to get it into the right position. In it's current position, the clutch has far too much play and doesn't spring back once I let go of it. Did you encounter this?

[@ryanurlacher1553]

Reach up to your clutch hand lever and make sure it's all the way out. That will give you the cable you need. Ride safe & Ride Often!

[@twilliamsusmc]

What was wrong with the old housing? Didn’t like it?

[@donaldmettler2377]

Ryan, hey bubby how long should it take for a Harley mechanism, to put in the Harley reduced effort clutch kit, Harley part # 36808-05 if the pipes are off already, on a 03 Harley road king, thanks man, keep the video coming ,Donnie

[@RyanUrlacher]

That's a tough question to answer. The dealerships service writer will go by what the book says it takes and charge that amount. Wish it were easier to estimate.

[@donaldmettler2377]

Ryan Urlacher that's ok, was just curious, thank you for all the video's you guys do, to help us out. Ride Safe, Donnie

[@jimkoos4234]

Replaced my Shift Shaft seal, upon adjusting the clutch, ended up with additional clutch cable slack that i cannot get out. Can just barley pull clutch lever - feels like it bound up??? 2003 RK Classic. A little help...thx jim

[@RyanUrlacher]

We'd have to break things back down and look over everything. Something not right. The process of elimination unfortunately.

[@Melonplayzroblox]

thanks when you take off the transmission cover you have alike a fan there you can spin its not a fan but looks like one does that pull put is not then im in trouble?

[@normannobrot]

question, lol can you remove that cover , and the cam cover without draining any oils? i.e just for polishing. good video.

[@RyanUrlacher]

Glad you liked the video. You can't remove the transmission or cam cover w/o losing the oil. Unless you have a model with hydraulic clutch lever then the transmission cover is just for looks and you won't loose any oil. ~ Ryan Urlacher

[@MrMedicAdnan]

OR lay the bike on its left side, 90 degrees and you'll be fine ha ha ha

[@cjsmith]

I just bend the cable around that tip and leave snap ring in tact

[@93stangful]

i did the same no issue at all

[@jonk6196]

I do too. Not sure why everyone takes everything apart.

[@gregrose6915]

My clutch cable and protective covering is always wet with oil. Seems like the oil is coming out where the cable goes into the nut that screws into the cover. Don't think it's the oring but the cable jacket itself. Your thoughts?

[@RyanUrlacher]

Hard to say without being there, but it sounds like you might need to replace your cable. The coupling may be defective. Ride safe & Ride Often!

[@gregrose6915]

@@RyanUrlacher Thanks man. Yeah it seems to be from the little metal crimp that holds the protective covering in place or where the cable goes in to the nut part. I've been hesitant to change cable because I didn't want to have to remove the exhaust.

[@Ahdickerson]

Everything is just as you said, but I'm having trouble screwing the clutch cable in the new housing. It won't start threading. Any tips?

I just took my cover off.... had about 8 ball bearings.

[@larieca2002]

how much transmission oil do i need

[@larieca2002]

its for a 2016 fat bob

[@RyanUrlacher]

It varies Juan from model to model. Just give dealership a call and they'll tell you. Or go to HD website, find your bike , and download the free owner's manual in .pdf. It will tell you capacities for your year/model.

[@bidenstoletheelection9116]

👍👍💯💯

[@clintbrown8169]

love the tutorial, just keep your hand out of the way...can't see a thing

[@vavuumcom8906]

I was digging it until you used tape on the gasket

[@RyanUrlacher]

The tape is just to hold it. Not sure of your concern. Glad you enjoyed the video. Ride safe!
