The behavior you describe is not normal. With a healthy hub, if you took the indicator chain out, you would be in 3rd gear.

But if you pull the rod and find the dead spot, it means you went from 3rd gear on the way to 2nd gear.

I can't figure it out.

Maybe it's time for a teardown. Don't be daunted. It's not that hard.
