517496 Shifter fork, 4th gear

Shifting issues in a 5-speed Sportster are often traced back to worn shifter forks. This MCS 4th gear shifter fork is a precision-made replacement designed for 1991 to 2003 5-speed XL Sportster models. It is a direct substitute for OEM numbers 34147-89, 34147-89A, 34147-89B, and 34147-89C. Only one is required per transmission. When you are splitting the cases, it is always wise to inspect the forks for any signs of bending or excessive wear on the pads. Installing this new fork ensures that 4th gear engages fully and stays locked in, preventing the dreaded gear jump that can happen with high-mileage transmissions. It is built to restore factory-spec shifting performance.
