Jumped out of gear on the road

If we are talking about the same thing, It happens to mine every so often. If I am in high gear, and let off the gas with the intent of just slowing down or slowing to a stop, it looses the engine braking, feels like it goes into a free rolling state like it has slipped out of gear while sounding & feeling like the gears are grinding themselves up. If I step on the gas, everything engages and it goes back to normal. If I step on the brake and stop, the gears grind till the machine comes to a stop. I have reported it to my local dealer. They could not duplicate the situation but said they would make a note of it in my file in case it becomes a warranty issue. They thought I was experiencing axle slap.

It has never done this in low gear.

thanks .. sound like same issue.. some how it came out of high.. and there wasn't any reason for it.. just backed off gas slightly.. didn't bump or touch the shifter... can't believe a small piece of gravel jumped up with enough force to smack the cable linkage out of gear... so Ok Kawi do you have a weak snap ring in your transmission?

Check your rear driver axle for full engagement?? Mine popped out n it wasnt cool.

Axle's were fine.

not the axles...
definitely the trans out of gear

just an update.. dealer says shifter slightly out of adjustment and pops out of detent ball...

Mine is also doing the same thing. Did it coming down a step grade the other day on the trail. Has also done it on pavement several times. All times it has done it, it has been in high.

Thanks so much. Awesome info. I will give that a shot. I only have about 12hrs on mine so hopefully caught it early.

Thanks again.

The same thing just happened to me on a trail Saturday. I was going downhill in high letting other hold back and it popped out or something. Same as you described

Steve Cornell posted a great video on how to adjust the linkage. I haven’t had a chance to adjust mine yet. But looks to be the cause.

Which nut would you turn to move the arm back? I had this happen to me yesterday going down a hill off-road.

you will need to loosen them and move both nuts slightly toward the front of the vehicle, not much!! just make sure the arm is going all the way back.
