Shifter drum is rolled and formed as original and allows 1947-up forward shift patterns on 45 transmissions.

Restore reliable transmission shifting with the V-Twin 49-1040 45-Inch Transmission Shifter Drum. Designed for the 1947-style shifting arrangement, this replacement component supports one rearward shift and three forward shifts, with first gear positioned closest to the rider. It is engineered for use with compatible Harley-Davidson W-series transmission components and provides a practical solution for servicing or rebuilding the original shifting mechanism.
The V-Twin 49-1040 shifter drum is manufactured as a replacement for applications where precise gear-selection operation is required. This version is approximately 0.010 inch shorter on the gear end, making it important to compare the original component and related transmission parts before installation. Pair it with the appropriate shifter cam, shifter gear, drum, and shift fork assembly for a complete and properly matched setup.
This transmission shifter drum fits 1936 through 1945 Harley-Davidson W models and is suitable for restoration projects, maintenance work, and transmission rebuilds. The component is supplied as an individual replacement unit and is identified by V-Twin part number 49-1040. For best results, inspect mating components for wear and confirm the transmission configuration before assembly.
