My 2011 John Deere 5085M started slipping out of gear today. It doesn't actually pop out of the shifter location, but rather, it simply goes to the neutral position while running - the nuetral light would appear on the dash console and the gear shifters would not move out of their locations. This happened today while discing. It happens with the gears in any combined position and did not seem to be dependent on throttle position. I then switched to my bush hog and it did the same thing when set at the ordinary pto setting. The only way to get it re-engaged and to move was to shift the gear levers out of position and back in, yet it would only run a few yards before the nuetral light would again appear on the console. The tractor is a mfwd and the 4wd button did not seem to have any impact if it was in the "on" or "auto" position. Anyone have any ideas ?
