What owners report

2000-09-19, Engine And Engine Cooling
CRACK IN THE ENGINE CASE CAUSED PRIMARY FLUID TO BE EVACUATED FROM THE PRIMARY CASE RESULTING IN A SECONDARY FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH. THE FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH THEN LED TO AN IMMEDIATE DECREASE IN SPEED AND NO POWER. THE CLUTCH ACTED AS IF IT WAS ALWAYS ENGAGED.

I ALSO SPOKE WITH HD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY VERIFIED THAT "SOME" WARRANTY WORK WAS PERFORMED DUE TO THIS FAILURE AND THAT NONE IS PERFORMED AFTER 10 MODEL YEARS. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL HA
