I have a '95 FLSTC with a transmission that is starting to show signs of wear. It has 121,500 miles on it so I guess it is time.
I was looking at either a Jims or a Baker and I was hoping to get some feed back from ya'll as most of the people on this website have far more knowledge than I have.
I was also trying to decide on a 5 or a 6 speed. The motor is stock except for a EV27 cam and a SE ignition.

Also for a while now when I down shift from 5th to 4th and get on her I get a false neutral.
Other people I know have told me these are signs my transmission is wearing out.

I have to admit transmissions have always intimidated me.

121,000 miles on a 5 speed...just broken in.
Check the shifter linkage for freedom of movement without any binding.
Check the shift lever at the transmission, make sure it is tight onto the shaft.
Make sure the shift lever springs back to it`s centered position.
Make sure clutch is adjusted properly.
If all of these are ok, you might need to adjust the shifter pawl.
