What Happened to Neutral?

[98warrior]

After its warmed up its almost impossible to get it into neutral. If I shut it off I can instantly click it in but as soon as its started up and warm its pretty much impossible to get into neutral, any ideas?

Same with my Raptor, just a ****** design it seems.

It's the retarded linkage setup that is common for all warriors. I have the same problem too, and have to bang on the shifter to get it in neutral. Only way to get around it seems to be a direct link shifter; at least I hear this solves the neutral issue.

My 02 does the same thing, also harder to get in reverse when hot.

i cant get mine outa reverse when its warm..i gotta shut it off then put in..pain in the ass

I know it may sound weird but make sure your motor mount bolts aren't worn real bad, other wize the gay stock linkage shifter won't line up properly and cause erratic shifting. Other then that probably just worn shift linkage. Get a good direct link.

The direct link doesnt solve the problem. I still cant find neatral.

My Raptor had this problem since new.

I've had that problem on all hot machines not just the raptor except ones without a clutch, like a foreman, i figured it was just the tranny getting to hot, but then when its off, it'll click right in. just my .02

Yep same here, pain in the ass, but I had to just learn to deal with it for now till I get around to trying a new linkage or something.

I never really found it to be a big deal. If im going to shut it off i keep it in gear anyway. It actually seems like a good thing at times...no more neutral when shifting hard haha.

http://www.shiftpro.com/shift-pro_new_001.htm, I tried contacting them like 5 times and they never got back to me, nor do they answer their phone. Anyway it looks like they just added a ball bearing on the end of the shift detent which would make it easier to move the shift lever due to less friction.
