 Topic: WD Stuck In Gear
Posted: 14 Sep 2011 at 5:34pm |
I was out plowing the garden today when the WD got stuck in gear, can't shift into neutral. It has shifted hard since I've owned it, so I pulled the shift tower, the trans gears look good and slide like I think they should. Pulled the shift lever out, 2 snap rings, washer, the shift lever pin is ok, not much play, but I don't know about the lever end. The service manual has no decent picture of it, couldn't find a picture of one during a search here. Anybody have a picture of what of a correct shifter end they could post. Anybody sell rebuilt shifters, I have no welding capabilities.
TIA, Tim

Somewhere in the archives on here was a diagram of the size and measurments of the end. might look for a friend that can weld or local shop where they can build it up for you.

Across the flats it should be about .315 Across the ball is .530 These dimensions I got from an earlier post but I didn't save the post address just the picture.

That's pretty good, in a little over two hours you have some great pictures and a drawing with dimensions. Way to go team!

I had the same problem quite a few years ago. I would take the whole shifter assembly off and slide the gears into netural and and get the shifting forks realigned and put it back together. That would last for as long as I was remembering to shift very gently but soon enough I would forget and it would happen again.
I finally got tired of doing that nonsense and got a whole diferent shifter assembly from a salveged parts WD and haven't had a problem yet and it was a lot easier than building up the shifter end. Dennis.
