Hello all,
My daughter's 5640 with the 12 speed has stuck in mid range. I disconnected the shifter from the side of the trans and it is free; the thing has stuck inside. Before I plunge into exploratory surgery has anyone else fixed this problem already?
Thanks,
Mike

What did you find and how did you fix it, mine is stuck in low range.
Thanks,
Jim

What we found was that wear in the shift linkages, just a little at each joint, was adding up to the lever not fully moving one fork all the way out of gear before starting to engage the other. Fixed without splitting the tractor, but we did pull off the side cover through which the shifters pass. Not sure that was totally needed though. Might first try tightening up all the external stuff.
