750 will not shift into gears

[Buck]

My father-in-laws 750 hisun will not change gears unless he completely turns the motor off then shifts.  I thought it might be a brake problem but he thought clutch.  He took it to a jackleg down the road and he basically charged him $300 and did not fix a thing.  Any ideas would be useful because he really can’t afford throwing money at it.

You can only change gears while stopped with foot on the brake.   Not sure if that answers your question but that's the way these things are designed?  I have the Axis Pro 750 and have found they have to be treated gently,   Great body, but the engine and transmission is not very good quality.

You didn't mention year or model, however, Sector 750s require the idle speed to be around 1600rpm or lower to move gear selector into desired position. If the idle speed is to high you will NOT be able to engage a different gear.

Definitely not the problem.  I wondered how the machine “knows” if you have your foot on the brake?  Sensor, relay, or mechanical device?
