Please help,
I replaced the primary chain on my 64 FLH. ( Foot shift / hand clutch ) The old chain was original and had tight spots. When I put everything back together I knew I would need to adjust shifter and clutch linkage because the tranny now sits more foreward. The clutch linkage adjusted fine. I turned the clevis on the shifter linkage some and went for a ride. The foot shift lever was hitting the floor board for 1st and I had to squeeze my toe under the lever to get the upper gears. at this point I was still able to shift through all gears but I knew I needed further adjustment. Back to the garage. I turned the shift linkage clevis more but it was hard to turn. I should have held the rod with vice grips because I think I put some twist and strain on the shift ratchet assembly on top of the trans. Out for a second test ride and now the foot lever is in a better position, but I can only get 1st and 2nd gear when I go for 3rd the shift lever is locked up solid. Thanks in advance for any Ideas.
