Default Tranny Issue?
Have a 2010 Ultra Classic and started having trouble shifting. Then the bike wouldn't start with the clutch pulled in, only in neutral. Next, the bike would stall out when starting from 1st gear unless it was given A LOT of throttle, could not "walk" it when feathering the clutch. Lastly, it the 6th gear light started coming on when I would downshift from 3rd to 2nd. The clutch had a lot of play in it and I tried adjusting it but no luck. Any ideas?

Id start with using gear oil in there and properly adjusting the clutch.
