YM2000 jumps out of high range - help!

[gclark94560]

Hi All!

I have a green (old) YM2000 and it will jump out of high range under heavy load.

It hasn't done this in low range. Doesn't matter what tranny gear I am in. Been pulling my home made "Woods Rake" thru the boonies and if I snag something solid when it's in 5th or 6th it pops right out of gear.

I guess I could call it a "Safety Feature" and be happy, but somehow that doesn't impress me too much!

You will need to pull the cover and inspect it. There are several reasons for it to jump out of gear.

Well - sounds like a good idea - but as a new tractorite I am not too sure what to inspect for! I have rebuilt several car manual transmissions and an engine or two. With this I have learned that each vehicle has its own personality and key things to look for.

Any more specific ideas on what to look for??

This has nothing to do with tractors, only mechanics, (fixin' is fixin'). Look for a bent shifter fork, or a binding or broken spring loaded detent, or anything else that doesn't look right.
