Is this the screw with a lock nut?
Is this the screw in the middle of the cover Locked with a nut?
If nut is missing that may be the problem... Going off memory now.... my 2000 FXDS

I looked in my 2ooo book and saw nothing, have you taken it out?
My 2ooo FXDS is different "it does" have a adjustment for the shifter and a Lock Nut.. sorry I can't help you, with that picture Others may come to the rescue..

second thought .. If it is just to tighten try Blue lock tight..

It is a #50 torx. Tough to get to with primary on.

I took a #50 torx. cut it about 1/2" long. Drill hole in 3/16" steel and weld it on the backside. Bend to accommodate. Had trans drained because I am putting on a longer clutch cable (which dennis kirk sent the wrong one and I didnt figure till it was on:newsmile08:, wrong travel length) I backed out the bolt to expose threads,Brakeclean threads, pluged vent hose and had a buddy hold the shop vac over the trans filler hole as I lubed up the bolt with silicone. Sucked it right in and tighten it up with homemade tool
