Frequently Asked Questions
No. The C9151 is intended for Twin Cam models equipped with the earlier 5‑speed transmission. It does not fit 6‑speed Cruise Drive transmissions. Always match by year/model and transmission type.
Normally no. Cometic AFM/fiber gaskets are designed to be installed dry on clean mating surfaces. Only use sealant if specifically instructed by the Harley‑Davidson service manual for your exact model.
Cometic AFM gaskets are marketed as re‑usable in many applications, but best practice is to inspect it any time the cover is removed. If it is torn, crushed, or contaminated, replace it. For critical leak‑free service, many technicians prefer a new gasket each time.
Yes. The gasket is compatible with common transmission and primary lubricants, including synthetic oils, as long as they meet Harley‑Davidson specifications for your model.
No. It is a sealing gasket only and does not affect gear ratios or shifting characteristics when installed correctly.
Installation Guide
Tools Required
- Harley‑Davidson service manual for your model
- 1/4" or 3/8" drive ratchet
- Socket set (SAE) for transmission top cover bolts
- Inch‑pound or foot‑pound torque wrench (per service manual spec)
- Shop rags
- Plastic scraper or gasket remover (non‑metallic)
- Brake cleaner or solvent for mating surfaces
- Threadlocker (if required by OEM spec)
Pro Tips
- Dry‑fit the gasket first to confirm orientation and bolt hole alignment.
- Clean mating surfaces to bare metal and wipe with brake cleaner just before installation.
- Install bolts finger‑tight, then torque in a criss‑cross pattern in 2–3 stages to the factory spec.
- Inspect the shifter shaft seal and other transmission seals while the cover is off; replace if weeping.
- After the first ride, inspect for seepage around the cover and re‑check bolt torque if your service manual allows.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Over‑tightening transmission top cover bolts and crushing the gasket
- Using RTV or silicone sealant with a Cometic AFM gasket (not needed and can cause leaks)
- Not fully cleaning old gasket material from the case and cover surfaces
- Re‑using distorted or corroded bolts or washers
- Cross‑threading or tightening bolts in the wrong sequence
Comparison vs Stock/OEM
Functionally equivalent replacement for the OEM Harley‑Davidson transmission top cover gasket on Twin Cam 5‑speed models.
Improvements
- High‑quality AFM/fiber construction designed to maintain seal under repeated heat cycles
- Often more durable and re‑usable compared with many OEM paper gaskets
- Consistent thickness and cut quality for precise fit
Considerations
- Must be installed on clean mating surfaces with proper torque sequence
- Not interchangeable with gaskets for 6‑speed transmissions or other engine families
