Well I'll skip the derogatory Harley comments since you are from Montana which makes you ok in my book....my "diag-guess-is" would be that you have failed to adjust your kickdown band and you are now going to find the strut link laying on top of your valve body. If the speed sensor doesn't do anything for you (which I'm thinking it won't) perform the adjustment procedure for the kickdown band. IF the adjuster never "tightens" as it should, but rather just keeps turning into the case I'll let you know where to go from there.
