no reverse - adjusting shift cable

Re: no reverse - adjusting shift cable

ax1lla;

If you go here and download this rather large file, you can then let me know which control box you have and I will get you the parts list for it:

This will give the overhaul procedure for the box but without p/ns.

There are issues which are possible with the control box but you really need to see the manual to educate yourself a bit about it's workings. It is not a big deal but surely not something you should be whipping apart without knowing the workings.

There is nothing wrong with your LU, you just have to get your controls set up correctly.

Great download! Thanks Gerry!

I think I will just separate the halves and see what I can see when shifting it into reverse (look for something obvious that is obstructing it from going back further). I will let you know.

Hey all.I just wanted to come back to this thread to inform everyone what my resolution was. It wasn't going in reverse due to a bad shift cable. Once I replaced the cable, it was able to shift into reverse. Thanks.
