TG Reverse motor went out at 21,000 miles!

...I was at my Harley Dealer yesterday and had my clutch fluid drained and changed......while there, I spoke with my mechanic....He said they will no longer just exchange the defective reverse motors on warranty work (unless the housing or something severe happened to defective reverse motor)....instead, Harley is now making them use a rebuild kit for all reverse motor warranty work.............just tellin' what he said.

Back in the olden days, Thats what almost all Mechanics did....Rebuild not just replace parts...And they got away from doing that to save labor .....You needed an alternator /generator 'Starter ETC.....You handed them the old one and the gave you back a rebuild...

You are correct, that said some of the jobbers wont sell us the parts we need to rebuild starters and alternators any more

Mechanics are being replaced by component replacement techs

Where did you buy the mechanical reverse ? And how much was it? Is this a DIY job or does it require specialty tooling ? Mine is a 2016 TG. Thanks
