odd shifting problem
About a month ago I bought a 98 Dyna and with the weather we've had here in Milwaukee, really hadn't had a chance to try it out. When I bought it I started it up and I looked it over pretty good but couldn't test drive it. It was a really good deal so I didn't want to pass it by.
Got it out this weekend and it ran real good. Changed the engine oil and trans oil, but not the primary becuase I didn't have the right torx size to open the cover yet. Only problem I had was sometimes coming from 2nd to 1st it wouldn't go. What I found out was if I lightly touch the shift slightly upwards, then I could press down and it would go into 1st fine. I got sort of used to it, but figured that's not the way it's supposed to work.
Any thoughts?? I thought I read something once about some detent spring that could either be broken or weak, but I can't find anything on that now that I need it.
Thanks in advance.
