Well, First off...

I'm real sorry to hear of your trouble here, bro....

sounds like it might be the shifter drum. When you take off the top of the tranny case, it'll be on top.

Do you have any friends that are really good with trannys? If not, you might have to either find a good indy shop to look at it, or get a lift, a manual and some tools....and dig into your new winter project.

let me know how it works out for you. Sure hate to hear about bad news like this.

Had the same problem with my 04 dyna while I was on a road trip. I got lucky...a bolt had fallen off and jammed the shift linkage between the primary and the case. Check it out and maybe, you'll get lucky!
