RE: transmission sticking
Maybe you just need to lube the shifter. My 2002 FLSTCI did that and at first I didn't know what was going on. I had to downshift too and then try to come back up through the gears. I had it lubed at my 10000 mile service and it worked fine after. I do all my own work now so I just hit it with a little anti-seize when I lube my jiffy stand.

RE: transmission sticking
My 07' Fatboy has a shifting problem... shift down and the shifter would stick, had to raise it with my toe.
Took it to dealer for a recall and told them about it.. they said there was a problem with this and they fixed it on the spot.
The shifter pivot needs to be greased. This is the pivot bar where the shifter arm pivots on. Seems there is a dry spot causing it to drag.
Give it a try... Fixed the problem for me.
