Club Car XRT 1550 Slips out of forward gear

[454spyder]

Started slipping out of forward gear (even when sitting still). Reverse works great. Put it back in forward and it may go, may not. I checked the linkage and it seems to be operating well and moves the transmission lever.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Take the shifter linkage off the rear ended and shift it manually into forward gear to see if it’s the shifter linkage or the tranny. If it works manually, measure the distance the shifter isn’t going and re adjust it

I had a similar problem, kept adjusting it, and kept adjusting it, one of our other members suggested, that I take a look at the transmission lever, were your shift cable hooks up to, my shift lever had warn a groove where the Woodriff key sits, allowing the lever to turn, which was no good. I was actually able to see the lever moving, while trying to adjust it. Check the lever.
Also on adjustment, take your front shift lever and put it in neutral, the front shifter should be pointing straight up, remove the shift cable at, the transaxle, and manually shift the lever to neutral, a couple of times you'll feel it click when you hit it. Now ajust the cable to the shifter.
move The Adjustment nuts on the rear Cable forward or backward to get to the desired location.....

Just checking in to see if the proper adjustment worked to get your club car to stop slipping out of gear?

Thankyou

Mind did that. The shifter cable needed to be tightened as it stretches over time. I was going to put a new cable on it but they are $$.

While the cables are expensive, it’s cheaper than a new rear end. I had a cart that the cable was out of adjustment. Ans left out of adjustment. This caused the shift fork to wear because it was not completely engaged like it should be. Once the adjustment was correct it still would slip out of gear under a heavy load (muddy street, big hill, hard acceleration).

The shift fork is discontinued. I bought a whole new rear axle because I could not locate one. A few months later I was able to source a used one and repair the rear end. But these parts aren’t easy to find.
