I'm an advocate for getting the clutch and flywheel replaced to your liking as well, since they have the drop the transmission anyway, and you'd have to replace the master regardless. And also as Chuck said, bell housing is probably all soaked and the current clutch may have suffered a bit. With that I'd want to go to a specialist vs. dealership if you're not afraid of the warranty hit. Specialty Z is in Chatsworth. I've only dealt with them remotely but pretty much everyone would agree they give top service.


I agree the factory clutch kind of sucks. Considering it's still so new I'll wait until I'm out of warranty before I swap everything out.

They're most likely going to have to replace the clutch anyway since it got soaked with brake fluid. The best bet would be to find a dealer that will eat the warranty labor and you bring them the parts. Csc, clutch,flywheel, HD master.

I'll wait for them to call me to see what my options are. That being said wouldn't I still end up voiding the warranty moving forward by replacing oem parts with aftermarket parts?

Thanks for the suggestion.

You don't void a warranty. You might have a claim on the clutch denied if you have an aftermarket setup, but the HD csc won't fail so it's not a problem. The only way to kill one of those cscs is by pairing it with a spec clutch.
