A833 Four Speed Gets Stuck in Reverse
Well, hell, here it is in May, and I’m just now getting around to this. I did as Perfacar explained: Loosened cover (backed the ten cover bolts back about a turn and a half to where fluid started to seep out), put in reverse, then tightened the bolts.
At first, reverse was locked again. I whacked the reverse shift rod to push the lever back into reverse, then I got my four gears again ... for a few shifts. Then the problem repeated. Whacked it again, got a few shifts done, then it locked into reverse once again.
I looked at the service manual to try to get an idea of what’s supposed to be happening by loosening and tightening up the cover, but it’s Greek to me.
Maybe I need to back the bolts a whole lot more and repeat?
