L4200 wont go into Reverse

[hntrjack]

Guys,
My L4200 will not go into reverse. The shifter lever has always been a little sensitive on getting it into reverse but now it wont go in reverse at all. I have checked the linkage from the lever down to where it goes into the transmission and no obvious problems. It will go back and forth from neutral to forward and back to neutral but just ont go into reverse.
Any suggestions as to what the issue might be?

Thanks
Jack

Sure it's moving the trans? Is it a GST?

Yeah..it is GST.. and I'm afraid to pull backward too hard . will go into neutral and forward just fine..I have put the gear shift into neutral and tried to get it into reverse but no luck that way either. I've tried throttling up and down and releasing the clutch slowly etc..still no luck

I have a wsm. I'll check, think there is a forward and reverse clutch. Think automatic transmission. Not dry clutches. All 8 speeds are in constant mesh all the pedal is needed for is take off, stopping, or inching. Speeds and gears need no clutch

I can send you the WSM, too big to attach to thread. The transmission is chapter 3. It also has a CREEPER. HI LO. May not apply to yours.

You guys might want to communicate by PM (private message) so the whole world does not get your personal contact information. Just move your curser to the moniker of the person you want to contact. At the bottom will be "start conversation". Click there and others can't participate.

Check the roll pins etc in the linkage. its working on 30 years old. Remember KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) pnuemonic, not at anyone in particular. No adjustment I see other than internal. if you were closer I'd help you. I'm disabled now but still bleed 15 40. Lifelong gearhead!
