H-D 45" Transmision Shifter Drum

[dal aymond]

Can the shifter drum, in an H-D 45" Tranny, be replaced without removing the tranny from the frame?

To change from the 46 shift pattern to the 47 shift pattern, is the shifter drum the only part that needs to be replaced on the tranny?

Yes and yes but you will need to time the shifter gear with the drum. It will be difficult to adjust shifter clutches properly while still in the frame though. At least for me it is. There just isn't enough room for my old eyes and shaking hands now a days. Keep your drum end play to .005" by using shims for better shifting responce. Paps
