Hard shifting train
I have a 2005 night train with 22000 miles. It has been hard to shift lately, especially 1st to 2nd gear. Also difficult to find neutral because I have to press so hard on the shifter. I've changed fluids and I've changed the clutchpack. Anything else that I could try?

Adjust clutch. Make sure you did not overfill tyranny or primary chain case. Either one will cause hard to find N.

He also dropped the derby cover when taking it off and it slammed down onto the lift. hrmm...
