Clutch/Transmission problem

Thought I had a bad clutch master because I was having shifting problems into pretty much all gears. Would make adjustments to the rods at both the clutch master and at the slave and it seemed to fix the issues but then it just came right back. I thought maybe the master was bypassing so I got a new clutch master and bled the system completely and still was having issues. Did a number of adjustments at both the master and slave and even moved the bracket that engages the clutch and moved it a tooth to get more out of it. Good news is that it is smooth shifting now in all gears except downshifting into 3rd it seems to catch and will grind a little. Before the adjustments I was having problems even getting it to shift back into 3rd gear and sometimes 2nd on a downshift. Now the only problem seems to be downshifting into 3rd unless I am at a very slow speed which it is then smooth. Do I now just have a syncro problem and need to open up the transmission. If so has anyone replaced any of the transmission parts? I think you have Kinarfi but not totally sure. I seem to remember a post but couldn't find it on a search. Plus not sure if it is a problem inside the trans or just need to keep fine tuning the adjustments. Appreciate any feedback.

Hey Bruhaw, The first thing I would do is to reinforce the bracket that holds the slave cylinder. It's real wimpy and flexes a lot when you push the clutch in. This uses up a lot of valuable actuation movement. On mine, I ran a threaded rod from the bracket to the firewall. That allowed me to adjust it to where I wanted it to stay. You probably don't have a sync problem.

Lenny and Big Dan. Thanks for the replies. I have the slave reinforced and did that way back. It is solid and is not flexing. Not sure what is going on with the bit of grinding. I hope it is not the syncros. Can't seem to figure it out.

      Kubota RTV-XG850 Sidekick shifting into nuetral problems
      By Paul L
      When I am driving at 30 to 40 mph on the highway, the display will change from H (high) to R (reverse).  It does not actually shift into reverse, it seems to shift into neutral and starts losing speed and the gas pedal has no effect.  After the rpm/speed drops for 5 seconds or so, it changes back to H and runs fine for another minute or so.  You have to try to drive it at less than 5000 rpm or so, to try and keep this from happening.  Any ideas on what the problem might be?  It only happens at the higher speeds.

      bd 300 bulldog shifting issues
      By Dennis
      I have  a bulldog i bought from home depot in 2013.  In the last season it started refusing to shift from neutral to either forward or reverse.  I changed the trans axle fluid and made sure the cables were lubricated and free.  With a lot of coaxing, I can sometimes get it to shift.  once I start driving it, things improve until I let it set awhile.   Any suggestion on where to go from here?

      Hello,
      I have a T-Boss 410. When I shift to H it starts beeping like it’s in R. It also shows R on the instrument panel. Fixes?

      Coleman UT400 shift issues , grinding .
      By Bryan g
      We see a lot of the UT400 with shift problems, not going into gear, popping out of gear, grinding etc. There  is a bulletin Im sure everyone has saw about adjusting shift cable.  That dont always fix it.  I went round n round with coleman  on couple units. We are a Coleman warranty repair center"AFS Small Engine Repair "   I told them shift lever does not have enough travel .  No amount of cable adjustment  will increase travel . I  extended lever with piece on flat  iron by 3/4 of inch .  This gave shifter enough travel to properly engage into gear completely .  Last couple units to come in for this Coleman sent me a modified shift lever, with longer travel . Problem solved! Also , heads up if you get any new unit ,,,go over and check it out,  grease  all zerks, check air filter for being in backwards, check wiring harnesses for rubbing on rotating parts,  brake hose  routing , make sure not touching exhaust .  These are just  few of the more common failures I see .
