What’s the 5th gear on a Harley Davidson?
Discussion in ‘ Transmission ‘ started by rogerbush, Nov 3, 2008 . 5th gear in the new 6 speed transmissions on (07 through 09) Harley Davidsons is a spur gear, or so I’ve been told, and makes a terrible whining and growling noise which adds to vibration of the bike.
What does it mean when your car whines and howls?
Whining and howling. Whining that appears relatively suddenly and becomes very loud over short period of time can be indicative of damage to the gear teeth or gear hub bearings. The most likely source of this damage is a shortage of lubrication.
When does a bad gearbox make a clunking noise?
Commonly, the noise is loudest when letting out the clutch when taking off from a stop. Alternatively, if the rear transmission is bad in a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the noise will occur when letting out the clutch in reverse as the tail shaft of the transmission rises up and slams back down. Broken mounts may also result in a clunking noise …

What kind of noises do you hear when you shift gears?
Use some fast acceleration, allowing the transmission to firmly shift. Listen for any rumbling, growling or mechanical metal-to-to metal noise in each gear just after it shifts. Such noises indicate problems with the individual planetary gears, input shaft or interior transmission bearings.
Why does my car make a whining noise when I shift gears?
If you hear a constant whining noise, accompanied by a slip in the gears as the transmission automatically shifts, it points to low transmission fluids.
Why does my transmission jerk when I shift gears?
Transmission fluid that has aged and lost some of its frictional properties can also lead to poor shift quality. When your vehicle’s computer tells the transmission to shift gears, hydraulic pressure (provided by the fluid) squeezes a series of plates together inside a clutch pack…
How does cold weather affect transmission shift quality?
That translates into solid, confident shifts day after day and long transmission life. Cold weather can reduce shift quality. When the temperature drops, transmission fluids with poor cold-flow properties can thicken and cause elongated and hard shifts until the fluid has warmed up enough to flow properly.
What kind of noise does a Harley Davidson make?
Discussion in ‘ Touring Models ‘ started by Dferr, May 26, 2011 . While riding home from work today, I noticed a pretty loud whining noise I believe is coming from the trans.
What causes transmission problems on a Harley Davidson?
Transmission problems will often manifest as difficulty changing gears whilst underway. Causes can include a bent shift fork, bad bearing on the transmission input or output shaft, or other worn parts. A bad/bent shift fork no longer move the gears the correct distance, which prevents complete engagement of the next gear set.
What happens to the shift pawl in a Harley Davidson?
If this is the case, your transmission may have a broken or missing shift pawl or return spring. This shift pawl spring keeps the shifter pawl, which is attached to the external shift lever, engaged with shift drum whilst the return spring puts the shift lever back to its starting position, so the transmission is ready for the next gear change.
Why does my transmission make a noise when I change gears?

What causes shifting problems in a Harley Davidson Sportster?
Shifting problems as well as noises can originate from different areas inside and outside the transmission, including the shifter, linkage, clutch, primary drive and more. Adjustments can be made that often correct shifting problems without digging into the transmission. This article applies to the Harley Davidson Sportster (1986-2016).
Use some fast acceleration, allowing the transmission to firmly shift. Listen for any rumbling, growling or mechanical metal-to-to metal noise in each gear just after it shifts. Such noises indicate problems with the individual planetary gears, input shaft or interior transmission bearings.
What makes a transmission whine in a Harley Davidson?
The hardened steel spring can cause damage to the transmission gears if not recovered. Transmissions can offer an whole repertoire of strange sounds from a low growling or rumbling sound to a high pitched whine. We’ll describe some common sounds that that may be associated with a transmission problem.
