How do you fix a stuck shifter on harley Davidson 2006 soft tail standard?

1. Check the clutch cable. If the clutch cable is too tight, it can prevent the shifter from moving. Loosen the clutch cable by turning the adjuster at the lever until there is about 1/4 inch of free play.

2. Check the shift linkage. The shift linkage is the metal rod that connects the shifter to the transmission. Make sure that the shift linkage is properly connected to the shifter and the transmission, and that it is not bent or damaged.

3. Lubricate the shift linkage. If the shift linkage is dry or dirty, it can bind and prevent the shifter from moving. Lubricate the shift linkage with a light oil or grease.

4. Check the transmission fluid. If the transmission fluid is low, it can cause the shifter to stick. Check the transmission fluid level and add fluid if necessary.

5. If the above steps do not work, you may need to disassemble the transmission to find the problem. This is a complex task that should only be attempted by experienced mechanics.
