I don't think I've posted this here as of yet.....
The reverse lockout does not work on my machine. Basically, I can go from first, right to reverse without turning the knob. On a ride earlier this season, it made for some interesting situations. 1) I backed into my buddy when going from a standstill 2) I backed into my other buddy when coming to a stop before going up a clump of rocks. That one is on video. :lol:
Last season, I was thinking of fixing this issue; until I realized both clutches needed to be pulled out. How hard is it to remove both of the clutched? I've done a clutch job before on a sport machine, and that wa pretty easy.
Now back to the reverse issue. I've seen a few pics of the reverse lever and how it atuates inside the case. Basically, it contacts a "stop" on the shift drum. I'm thinking that maybe the lever inside the case is bent? I guess the stop could be broken off the drum, but I would think that would have cause some serious issues if it was ratting around the case.
