Blue88Comanche Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 :agree: is the clutch working, and how are the clutch and transmission fluid levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 If it shifts when the engine isn't running but won't shift when the engine is running, the clutch is NOT working. It's a clutch problem, not a transmission problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zagscrawler Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 you say it makes a grinding noise when in reverse or grinds when you try to force it into reverse? Also if you are on flat ground with nothing around you and start it up and try and put it in first gear with your foot off the brake does it try and creep slowly forward, i mean slowly?
