Shifting issues with MF 5465

[Tina Booton]

I have 2, 2007 MF 5465's. The first tractor #18 has had isses shifting a couple of years ago. After 3 tries it seems to be fixed. I appologize for not knowing what was done to the tractor each time, but it cost upwards of $4000 each time. Now my second tractor #19 is having a shifting problem. The lights flash on the dash and the tractor will not go into any gear. This time they are saying that the shifting issue is related to the "speed sensor". So this has been replaced. The tractor seems to still be having issues sporadically. Has anyone else experienced problems similar to this? Could it be a heat and transmission thing? The tractors only have about 3000 hours on them. Any help or ideas you can provide is greatly appreciated. Otherwise the tractors run well. Thanks.

What happens when your machines are having shifting issues? Not going from high to low? Not shifting gears? Transmission hot or cold, have they been calibrated at all?

The transmission will not shift into any gear (forward or reverse). The tractor is stopped in place running. Typically the situation happens after the tractor has been mowing for a period of time. So I would say it is a hot transmission. Calibrated?!?!?! Thanks for helping.

Have you got the Dyna-4 transmission or the regular Power Shuttles?
If Dyna-4, has the bottom of clutch switch been updated? When they get hot they will act up and if you use the clutch to stop you'll be stuck. If you don't use the clutch and declutch with the shuttle lever you can get by with it. Dealer should have plenty of knowledge on this though.
