Mahindra 2540 Wont go into gear

[rc70070]

I have a 2015 or 16 Mahindra 2540 shuttle. Currently I cannot shift the lever into foward or reverse. It seems to just be stuck. With the Said if you engage the clutch I can roll it back with the bucket like it was and is in neutral. Any suggestions on what the exact problem may be or how I should go about fixing? Thanks in advance.

To bump and add, could low transmission fluid level cause it to not let me engage it into forward or reverse?

Don't think low transmission fluid would effect shuttle shifting. If In neutral. And won't go forward or back sounds like linkage

I have a shuttle shift max26 it sometimes can be a pain to get shuttle into gear

Low fluid shouldn't cause an issue, unless it was very low and got ran in that condition.

This shows it to be a cable operated linkage, so cable binding or something has come off.
Have you checked the linkage going into the transmission case?

OK thanks, I will plan on disconnecting and see if what happens when I do that. I know I lost a little oil braking a hose fitting a while back. But defiantly didn't see my self loosing multiple gallons though to put me too low. I will check the sight glass as well while im there to see what it looks like as well. The Bucket and 3pt and levers do function properly at the moment(the range shifter, and 1-4, and 4wd, and PTO) So lets hope its just the linkage.

So if i unpin the linkage at the casing and my lever is functioning properly, am I looking at a severe issue?

If cable is moving with shift handle when unpinned . I'd reconnect and see if it's moving the linkage on side of transmission

Considering that it isn't moving hooked up, yes. Can't say we ever had any TYM's lock up on the shuttle, but did get to replace a few shuttle synchros.

I will check to see If that cable is actually working when the lever is moved tonight while unpinned. Should i be able to move it to forward while its unpinned by hand or by wrench?
