RE: Missing shifts
I had that happen to my 07 Ultra, it went from 2nd to netreal. the cause was a small wrench had fallen down in the linkage. The mechanic who lost the wrench had the same initials as mine

RE: Missing shifts
I have just the opposite problem, I can't ever find neutral, because the dĂŠtente is so soft I can't feel it. The only way I know I've got it is to look at the idiot light.

RE: Missing shifts
Make sure all the shift linkage is tight and has no play. Then adjust your clutch linkage and check your primary even if has an automatic adjuster (remember it is a brainless, mechanical entity). You can also try using a heavier tranny fluid to slow the gears down a little quicker to get you past the "false neutral" you are experiencing. Lastly check your linkage for clearance through full range of motion.

Is your heel shifter hitting the floorboard, it does take more movement to get 2nd than the other gears. Try adjusting the height of the heel lever.
