    Did you not read one of jetlee's responses to one of your dozen threads concerning the same issue? He says you can replace those pins. WITHOUT dropping the engine and splitting the cases.
    From what I have read jetlee has some great blast knowledge.
    BTW I think that once you buy the tools, parts and gaskets needed to perform a transmission rebuild/total engine overhaul you'll probably be better off just finding a used engine on eBay and saving your current one for spare parts.

    Also, if you have a service manual and are good at following step by step instructions NOTHING about tearing down a Buell engine is too difficult.
    This is all just my opinion. But I would try replacing the detent plate and pins first. IF that doesn't work out then weigh your options on a rebuild or used engine. You do what you want. It's your bike.

    Replace the pins first. Bending a shift fork is incredibly difficult in these Harley-based transmissions; not impossible, but rare.

    Replace the pins and see how it shifts.

    To answer your question, dropping the engine is 4 bolts. Replacing trans parts will be more expensive than buying a parted-out motor/trans.

    four tips for you:
    1-activate your spell-check.
    2-consider an english composition 101 night class that specifically addresses punctuation.
    3-one post per problem. posting identical problem in separate posts clutters the board.
    4-required to be a board member for longer than 6 DAYS before issuing warnings on who can respond and the language used.

    Use the Parts Manual to get the part# and then order from your favorite Harley dealer. Don't mention it's for Buell, just order by the number.

    If you want people to cater to your "disabilities" then disclose such disabilities before opening your ignorant and lazy mouth.
    John is a senior member that knows more about Buells then you could beg people to spoon feed to you all day long!
    You seriously need to do a bit more research.
    Had you done any you wouldn't have posted a thousand posts on the same subject or gone off on the one guy that would have probably been an asset to your parts need.
    Lunatic(John) is a dealer and supplies numerous members not just with technical assistance but also with cheap parts.

    The point numerous members, myself included, are trying to make is that a lot of your answers can easily be found in a manual of where you've already been directed.
