John Deere 2120 Shift Question

[bigblock76]

Hello Everyone,

I had the clutch, pressure plate etc done at the dealer last fall and have only put on 30 hours in the last 8 months on the tractor.

My question is should I not be able to shift the range selector from 1 to 2 or from 2 to reverse without having the gears shudder / grind while leaving the gear leaver the same.

Example: Driving forward in range 1 gear 8. Clutch down all the way, break to a complete stop, change range selector from 1 to reverse while the clutch is still down and not having it grind?

Or driving in range selector in 1 gear number 6 and clutching down all the way, at a full stop and going from range 1 to range 2 without griding and leaving the gear leaver still in number 6.

Am I doing something wrong here? Tractor doesn't have a hi-lo shifter.

Yes if clutch is properly set and adjusted.

Gearbox on JD2120 NOT SINCRONIZED and will grind a little . Check that your clutchpedal freetravel is adj to 40mm/11/2 inch

Hello Everyone, I did the adjustment and turned the clasp in a few turns to get it down to about 1/2" of free play. I have to say it did seem to help and make a noticeable difference, but sometimes I still get some chatter. Is that still normal?
