Shuttle won't shift

[tillerman]

I just picked up a 712 shuttle. The shift lever won't move to go in gear. Does anyone have a remedy for this or is it junk? It doesnt go in neutral either. It just seems to be locked up.

Do a search for shifting problems on 3-speed trannys. The shuttle tranny is basically a 3-speed with reverse removed and an additional forward gear inserted. There has been several discussions on this topic. If I remember correctly, the shift fork can sometimes jump out of place. If this happens you can usually pop it back into place by inserting a screwdriver through the oil check hole. You need to find one of the previous posts. I don't have time to do a search at this time. I think "thedaddycat" was the author of one of the topics.
