Hello all, I am new to the forum.
I am in the Central TX area.
I have a 2003 FLHTCI w/ 58K miles.
Has been running great since I purchased in 09 w/ 38K miles. I am 2nd owner.
Seems like tragedy struck yesterday.
I am up to DIY diagnosis and repair but need a shop manual.
Local dealer does not have one in stock.
Has anyone used and/or would anyone recommend, or not, using
an online website
to get PDF of manuals for $9.95?
Brief description:
Recently a strange 'hollow clunking' noise developed. It happens while down shifting through 2nd and 1st or when I roll off the throttle (same gears).
Yesterday while riding things got serious. I was making a turn in 2nd and it sounded like a combo of slipping clutch and grinding gears. If I rolled the throttle it would slip. I could shift up/dn.
I cannot tell if it is just clutch or tranny or combo of both.
Fortunately I was able to limp home.
Thanks for any input.
