EVO: Transmission & Final Drive


2004+ 5-Speed Constant Mesh Transmission w/o Trapdoor

  • For 2004, HD redesigned the transmission / engine case to confine the transmission fully within the engine case - the trapdoor was eliminated. In order to service the transmission components, now sealed inside both case halves, the engine cases need to be split.
