Default Problem Shifting

I have a 2000 Dyna Superglide Sport. Yesterday I removed the outer primary, compensating sprocket, and clutch hub to seal the primary-to -transmission mounting bolts because I had a leak. I got everything torqued down and put back together and went for a test ride. She shifted into first thru fifth no problem, when I went to down shift it was extremely hard to get back down to first. With the engine running and the clutch engaged I can't shift to neutral or second. The clutch seems to be disengaging the transmission, I don't understand why I'm having this problem. At first I thought I had the clutch adjustment way out of wack...I adjusted it per the manual and I still have a problem. Does anyone know what I missed and/or screwed up?????
Jim

Usually if you take something apart and it ain't working right when put back together you did something wrong. But, I had a problem with my 06 glide not wanting to downshiftand not wanting to go into nuetral or first. There is a rodfrom the clutch throughthe primary into the tranny. It had rusted from lack of lubricant. Just an idea.

Do you have foward controls or mids? If you have Mids ,Maybe something is binding in the shaft that goes thru the primary cases?

Is your primary chain adjusted properly?

Did you have any trouble re-assembling.....might have bent a shift fork in the process
