The transmission Shop and i are stumped
I have a 2006 Harley Davidson edition.
Last summer all was fine I stopped at a stop sign went to take off and the transmission started slipping. Had it towed home and looking online it seemed that it needed a rebuild. So off it went, had it rebuilt and reinstalled it in the truck. It was Doing the exact thing as before. Hardly any movement in forward and reverse works just fine. Called the transmission shop they had me tow the whole truck in to their shop, they couldn't figure it out either so they pulled the tranny back out rebuilt it again and was doing the exact same thing no forward reverse works fine. So they pulled that transmission out and tried a different one and they said it was doing the exact same thing. We are all over scratching our heads. Any ideas what could be causing it to do this. I miss my truck lol Thank you

I can't help, sounds like a real mystery. Curious to find what does show up, How many miles, what kind of use? Wondering if maybe a valve body issue, leaking pressure, etc ..... or a bad solenoid?

They sound like a parts cannon. Or they're lying.
I'm no automatic expert but even I have tried some troubleshooting, including using my scanner to trigger solenoids while I feel them and listen with the pan removed.
Some level of diagnosis is necessary before slapping in three transmissions....

Based OP's description, I wouldn't. They allegedly rebuilt it, rebuilt it AGAIN, and then installed an entirely different transmission for try #3
