I have a 1997 model. It will randomly not go into forward gears, but will always shift into reverse gears. I can take shifter out and put back in and it will usually work. A giant pain. Anyone know what's going on or what the fix is ? Thanks in advance.
Is that a cable control? Stretched or needs lubrication. Not familiar with your machine but I have seen that on other cable controls. Or sloppy worn ball ends on linkage if it was rods. Certainly sounds like loose linkage.
No, it's magnetic/electric in the cab to trans.
