Hard finding R, 4, 3 in that order of difficulty - R380

No I haven't checked fluid level yet, but I changed it about a year ago and haven't seen any leaks on THAT part of the driveway. That's the first thing I'll do is change, I have Amsoil Manual syncromesh in there now, but I have a few bottles of Redline MTL that I guess I'll try next. This was never an issue until recently. I really hope a fluid change is all it needs but 3 gears worries me.

Did you take the boot off and remove the bolts to check the connection yet? I would check the set screw. Mine came loose and shifting became very sloppy, but still worked until ultimately it wouldn’t shift right at all. Easy fix with a little lock-tite, thankfully.

You check the preload of those set screws on the sides? That should help align the 3/4 shift. As for reverse. What's your sequence for shifting it? Do you left the input shaft spin then clutch in, then select it?

I've never touched the set screws since owning it. This problem is new over the last 2 weeks or so. The issue getting into R was just starting up and trying to get there from N. Now I can usually get it to work by going N->3->4->R (a few tries). Thanks for the screenshot

basically yes

If it's that loose, remove the turret completely and verify the Allen screw is tight that the shifter ball inserts into?

That's the plan, I'm just trying to find daylight hours that I can take it apart!

Went to Francis' yesterday and it turns out its a combo of the front set screw was very loose and possibly the rear one. @WreckITFrank is a saint when I left my broken 110 in front of his house and he was compelled to fix it. He made it drivable in 30 min but something is still up. I'm just happy this didn't happen at Greek Peak or on one of my many Poconos trips stuck in the car with kids, etc. Hopefully this is an easy Fix-fix!

Its sitting at Neil's at Red Door Offroad now because I'm an idiot and need a station car that isn't relying on a 27 year old tractor

Anybody in the Philly area going to be at Mainline Cars and Coffee tomorrow in Radnor? @Angus ?

Dude: If that had happened at Greek speak, you would have had dozens of @WreckITFrank to help you.

Any updates ?

Ah yes, sorry. Neil at Red Door got me all setup. It was the front linkage screw had come loose. Good to go!

That’s great news! Glad you’re rollin’!
