Ok here goes, when I start up in the mornings all is ok, going through gears up and down about 3 times, no problems. but as soon as it start to get to operating temp, I can shift problem free through 1st, 2nd then it sticks in third, have to force it up or down, wich ever way it will go, then it is fine again till I downshift into 3rd where it gets suck again. I have nearly 10000mi on it now, and the oil I use with service is HD gear oil.

If this started after your last service sounds like they fudged up something. I advise switching to Royal Purple. Does your clutch move fine and feel right?

It only started about a week ago. I was thinking of changing the oil. Clutch feel ok, engage and disengage fine, but hey maybe I'm just used to it.

my tranny smoothed out a lot after goin to Amsoil 20/50.

i can actually find neutral after that.

but if youre only having problems in a certain gear, there might be more to it.

is 3rd where you pull your wheelies? or power shift into 3rd from 2nd often?
