89 CC Carryall wont shift into gear suddenly.
Hey Boyos, my 89 Carryall with the O-riginal lawn mower engine and all was working fine two days ago. Yesterday when i went to us it, it wouldn’t shift into either forwar or reverse. Shifter and cable both move, nothing has loosened up, i hear it grinding when i try to shift it like it isn’t going quite far enough, and I can manually put it in gear by moving the lever on the transfer case. Possible causes and solutions?

Re: 89 CC Carryall wont shift into gear suddenly.
You say the cable is moving, yet if you manually move the lever on the transfer case it works? My bet would be on the cable itself. When those cables go bad they tend to break a few strands of the wound wire at a time. Those broken strands will bite into the plastic housing and bind it up - so it doesn't travel quite far enough to get it into gear

Re: 89 CC Carryall wont shift into gear suddenly.
I found the actual culprit once I removed the cable. The shifter arm that the cable attaches to has a set screw that clamps it in place on the shaft that goes into the transmission. The set screw had come loose and thought the lever appeared to be moving properly, the shaft wasn’t moving enough to actually shift into gear. A quick tighten of the set screw and I’m back in business. I think I’ll swap out that shift cable anyway after finding all the damage to the case. Thanks for the wisdom though.

Re: 89 CC Carryall wont shift into gear suddenly.
When mine wouldn't shift out of reverse I found the ball pivot on the shifter arm had rusted and broken off inside the captive cable end, and after I put on a new ball pin and replaced the socket on the end of the cable, all was good to go again. You have to start at the shift lever, follow all the controls, cables. levers, etc and you can find the problem. If you're lucky you don't end up inside the trans, unless everything else checks out.

Re: 89 CC Carryall wont shift into gear suddenly.
Lesson learned. The shaft wasn’t visible to me from the rear and looked like it was functioning normally. I had to remove the cable to find the problem. Little by little. I was very happy that it didn’t end up in the trans., but I would’ve been surprised if i had given the suddenness of the problem. I wish they were all this easy.
