an amazing amount of oil can find its way
out of one gearbox stud - or is it two...
but not overnight, cold...
both studs carefully heated up
(cos I put them in with loctite 270
thinking I am not gonna take them out again!)
and carefully removed,
just in case both were leaking!
I hope someone out there is saved the shit I've been through,
by reading these shitty tales.

Use the Harley-Davidson "High Performance Sealant, Grey" on those studs, instead of the Loctite 270. You'll be glad you did. But, it's gotta be CLEAN - both the case threads, and the studs - no trans lube on either.
The H-D part # is 99650-02, it's what H-D uses on their 5 speed case studs.
cheers irish rich
I tried 542, rubbish (my fault) then 242 (small leak)
about to use JB Weld!
