Hello,, I recently purchased an 83 heritage special. Rode it for about 300 miles. At first I found that it would lock up while rolling backwards in neutral, after rolling forward a couple feet it was fine. I would do it when running or off. The next thing was it would only downshift to 3rd while riding. I took the clutch cover off and found the shift paw out of adj, so I adjusted it and put it back together, rode it and again and the same thing it would not downshift past third. I know it has to be something broken in the trans and will soon have it off the frame to do it. I'm just wondering if anyone has had similar problems and could tell me what to look for. Thanks.
