My 06 Heritage started to lock into first and second, too.

I stomp on both levers and it goes away - for a while. I roll down the road doing a fandango on the levers. I spend more energy trying to get into 3rd than I would if I walked the same distance.

Then ...

Today Crankenstein ran perfectly. Smooth shift up and down.

I did soak it in Dr. WD 40's Mystical Ju Ju fluid and - so far today - that's all.

My friend who knows Heritages better than most folks said, "Check the transmission fluid."

I did.

It was almost dry (!) and I had a dealer work it over last week. With dealers like that who needs Ebola?

Anyway, I brought the level up with a little Bust Head with a shot of Screech. That always works when I can't get out of reverse gear myself.

It seemed to work on Crankenstein - so far.

It might have been the lever and it might have been Crankenstein needing some ream cream. It may still need a little brutal, indifferent care.

My best advice is to ignore all the advice I give.
