RTV900 slips out of M

[dtreid]

New to me Kubota RTV900
If I hold the gearshift lever it will run in M gear, but as soon as I remove the pressure it slips into neutral.

Any suggestions? Hopefully ones that don't involve removing the tranny.

probably just needs adjusted. could be a bent shift fork a common problem. both easy to fix without removing the transmission.

 

[dtreid]

The gear shift isn’t bottoming out when put in M. Does this still sound like a bent shift fork?

 

[aurthuritis]

i would disconnect the shift mechanism and manually shift it into M. then i would start it and drive it to see if it stays in gear. if it slips out then i would look into the shift fork. if it stays then i would adjust the linkage.

If it's the shift fork, then there s a short video on how to access and fix it in the "sticky" section titled ( Index to some popular and useful threads ) at the top of the forum threads. It shows a bit of the linkage too.
one of the links follows..

I just can’t get the H-M shift for to slide back far enough....bent shift fork maybe?
How do I bend it back without pulling the tranny?

 

[aurthuritis]

i doubt you can bend it back most break but you can try. also could be the detent . the forks pull stright out from the top alonf with the shift assy. i think

 

[bordercollie]

Did you take a look at the video and the guy popping it back in place? I never had to do that procedure but liked the video. Good luck. collie

 

[dtreid]

It just seems like it's binding so that it can't slide back the last 1/4". I've used my borescope and can't see it hitting on anything....not sure what the deal is.

 

[aurthuritis]

just go ahead and pull the shift fork assy and you will be able to identify if the problem is in the gears or the shift assy. you are only a few bolts away anyway.

I don’t want to remove the tranny if possible. I can’t remove the shift fork unless I do. Correct?

wait a minute let me look

the shift forks slide on those polished rods. can you slide the rods to the front or rear of the transmission and lift out the fork?

 

[dtreid]

There are spring and ball detents for the rods so the tranny needs to be opened up to remove them

 

[aurthuritis]

the fork is held on to the rod with a roll pin or pin. can you remove the pin and slide the shaft to the rear while keeping the detent balls captive enough to lift out the fork?

 

[dtreid]

It looks like the other fork is in the way preventing me from driving the pin out.

 

[aurthuritis]

sorry. i am out of ideas.

Kubota rtv900 just done new head gasket and torque nut to 31ftb. Dose any one no the torque settings for the rocker.
