Replaced ratchet pawl trouble getting 1st gear
Hey,
so I recently had to change the ratchet pawl on a 2004 Ultra, it was my first time taking on the task. This being said I am confident in my skills but I do believe I have made a mistake, I can get the bike into first gear sometimes but it is certainly not a guarantee.
It seems the clutch on the bike is a little soft could this be the cause? Let me know if more detail of the steps I took would be helpful.

It is very easy to not get to the no free play when you do the clutch back off behind the derby cover if you put a too much play in the cable length before you start the adjustment on the clutch. Sound like however if the clutch is correct, you have a bent shift dog. Did you follow the service manual?
