Case: The 6-Into-4 Transmission case comes in two different versions. Our 1936-64 case has no ear, to work with the factory primary. Our 1965-1986 version includes the primary ear bosses. These can be used with stock primary applications, belt drive applications, or running no primary plate at all. For the 1936-1964 Tapered Mainshaft applications, please note that the 6-into-4 case does not contain an alignment track or a provision for the primary adjustment bolt that you would normally find on a stock case.
4 different mainshafts are available for Knucklehead, Panhead or Shovelhead:
-
1936 to 1964 Tapered Mainshaft**
-
1965 to 1969 Tapered Mainshaft
-
1970 to E1984 Tapered Mainshaft
-
Late 1984 to 1986 Long Tapered Mainshaft
**For 1936-1964 Tapered Mainshaft applications, please note that the 6-into-4 case does not contain an alignment track or a provision for the primary adjustment bolt that you would normally find on a stock case.
All 6-into-4 case options come with a machined in 5th stud. We took the weakest point on other aftermarket transmissions and made it into the strongest point on ours. The 5th stud commonly breaks out of its bolted on plate causing your driveline to tweak in the chassis. The 6-Into-4 Transmission case comes in two different versions. Our 1936-64 case is a no-ear case to work with the factory primary. Our 1965-1986 version comes with the primary ear bosses on it. These can be used with stock primary applications, belt drive applications, or running no primary plate at all. Both cases have a provision for an electronic speedometer. The electronic speedometer would utilize a stock 1996-2006 speed sensor, PN 74437-96. Pending what type of electronic speedometer you use, an additional speedometer recalibration box might have to be purchased, BAKER PN 95E-56B. The BAKER 6-into-4 case does not have a gear drive speedometer cable provision on the case.

Sprocket: 6-into-4 has 2 more gears than a 4-speed and sticks out 1.6” more. The rear exhaust pipe, oil tank brackets, and starter brackets may have to be modified for fitment.
– Electric speed sensor provision in case accepts stock 1994-up speed sensors.
– Some 1970s inner primaries may require modification for sprocket nut clearance.
Recommended Exhausts
With the factory exhaust not fitting in most cases, you will need to make sure that you find an exhaust that goes around the side cover. The 6-into-4 has 2 more gears than a 4-speed and sticks out 1.6” more.
Recommended Fluid / Level
Picking the right transmission fluid ensures the life and durability of your transmission, that’s why BAKER recommends a fully synthetic GL-5 rated gear weight oil of 75W-140. If a GL-5 rated gear lube is not available, these commonly carried viscosities (weights) will work: 75W-90, 75W-140, and 85W-140. BAKER does not recommend the use of Syn3 (20W-50).

JapanWork of art . But wish I could use my 4 speed speedo set up and not be forced to choose between a total rewire to post 94 specs or forgo a speedo all together.
United StatesEverything about the baker 6na4 is perfection. These are the goat of classic Harley transmissions. Buyer beware, custom exhaust is a necessity. But worth it. This was the final part of a full restomodded 1984 fxst, and it was worth the wait. Bakers customer service is amazing, they want you to enjoy their products.
United KingdomBeautiful chunk of metal, gonna have my shovel build running like a dream
