Landmaster gears sticking

[Jwil05]

Have a landmaster 700.

 

my gears seem to stick in forward or reverse whatever I go to first after starting. Once the engine is turned off the gears release.

 

any advice?

Does it have a hydraulic clutch?

It does

I own an LM653. Had the same problem. If I momentarily shut off the ignition & turned it back on it would drop out of gear because of the slight drop in RPM.  My brother in law readjusted the idle lower And it’s been working fine since. Didn’t take much of an idle reduction. Make the adjustment after the engine is warm.

 Have you checked the fluid level in the transmission, and the clutch?
