Anybody out there having issues with Night train tranny issues? I've got an '04 that likes to have the shift linkage stick when the engine heats up (heavy stop/go traffic or when I take a short break after a long ride on a hot day)

 

Mine is a little temperamental in the morning, but once it warms up all is fine.

 

no issues with mine. What fluid do you run? how old is it?

 

I had that happen, and it turned out that the shifter lver was binding inside the pivot bushing. I took it to the dealer and they took it apart, reamed out the bushing a little, lubed it and I was good to go. They told me it happens if you use too mush detergent when cleaning the bike.

Cheers!

My '05 always works perfectly, hot or cold. When I need neutral, it practically finds itself. I do wish the ratio spread was wider, but that's another issue...

 

My 04 always works fine

I had the same problem on my softail standard.
Disconnect the shifter linkage from the shifter bushing.
Take a piece of emery cloth and run it in and out of the bushing untill the shifter linkage moves
freely. Lube up the linkage, reassemble and ride free. Never had a problem afterwards.
