Hey everyone, I was looking for some input. My neighbor has a John Deere 5520 and its stuck in 1st gear.

Which type trans?- COLLARSHIFT TRANSMISSION (C/S) - Syncshuttle™ Transmission (TSS)- PowrReverser™ Transmission (P/R)

It has a Sync shuttle transmission.

I would think something came loose in the shifting forks.

Spoke with a mechanic today at dealership. He gave us some schematics on it. Basically told us the same thing. Going to tear into it tomorrow. If all goes well should have it fixed in several hours.

Good call.
My 5520 has had a couple similar things go wrong. WD-40 and then spray oil fixed my problems but he might have some loose linkage.
