Weird Reverse issue

[Phazer2Viper]

So my friend has a zr7000 with about 900 miles on it. It will shift into reverse but wont shift into forward until you turn off the machine and turn it back on. When you do that it is in forward. I swapped his actuator with mine and still does it. We tried swapping his forward and reverse relays with no luck. any ideas? thanks

Belt deflection too tight?

If you have a 14 or 15 with the wobble bearing on the upper shaft, if it’s worn bad the top gear will drop enough that it won’t allow engagement with the reverse gear. Also as previously stated, if the belt is too tight, the reverse won’t engage properly. Some people had the plastic fork guides break, no sure if that would cause his issue.

It was the reverse button! Switched it out and it works fine.

have they gotten a Trail 13 reroute figured out up there in Three Lakes or is it still shut down?

sounds like they have a reroute figured out but it wont be open for at least a year or 2. they will have to build a new bridge.
