Any 3616 HST owners out there?

My 3616 shuttle with less than 200 hours has a transmission problem. The gear selector is hung in the neutral location, but the transmission is "locked" in 4th gear. Two speed selector and shuttle (forward/reverse) works fine, so I have a two speed (High and low). Has anyone else heard about this problem?

Bill, this is a 30 second fix on an open station, 5 minutes on a cab. It is just an external linkage issue. Your 4-speed shifter, like most Japanese and some Korean models, is made to shift in an H pattern. If you sort of go in an X pattern quickly, you can sometimes engage two gears. If you try to do it, you can't make it happen....but we get this call about twice a year and it is an easy fix. I've posted a solution before, but if you are like me you can't use the search function well enough to find old threads!

Under the seat, below your left cheek is a metal cover with 4 10mm (I think) bolt heads. It is sort of rectangular, and just inboard of the shifter. Take this off. Wiggle the 4-speed shifter a little and you can see how this works. You will see the sideways H shaped part of the mechanism and that you have got this in a jam. The H engages one or the other of the shift levers. When you pull it to the left, it does 1st or 2nd. When you pull it towards your hip and then fore or aft, it does 3rd and 4th. You can see how that works. Now take a Crescent wrench or pliers and put these levers back into position and all is well. Spray a little WD40 on it while you are there.

Let us know that this worked.

Anybody got pictures of their 3016 or 3616 logging in the snow? Mine I've only had for a month but am anxious to see how this size tractor does pulling a 2000# stem with a foot of snow on the ground.

Does the a/c work well on the cab model?? Are the vents in the ceiling? Good air flow?? Also, I would like a belly mower....does Mahindra make one? TIA

Vents were in the ceiling on my 3616 cab. Even in 100 degree Alabama heat it stayed cool inside. Make sure you blow out the coil in front and keep the screens clean though. Mine would clog up fast while bush hogging.

All you gota do is take a hammer and a punch and nock the fork back into place... it take all of 5 minutes to fix... the shift tooth just jumped out of the left fork before it got to neutral. just follow the shift lever down and you will see the fork out of place.. knock it back to line up with the right one while its in Neutral
