I think that it also bears mentioning that the guys over at the Sportster forum said I should go buy a lottery ticket, because when transmissions fail in this way it almost universally results in shrapnel making holes in the cases and often pieces get into the bottom end of the engine and completely destroy it. The only reason mine didn't grenade the motor is because the trans let go when it was sitting in my driveway instead of doing 60 down the freeway. So I've got that to be thankful for
