Hallo David
Thank for the your fine answer. I would very must like to know the name of the book where det fine pictures come from. I have a MF175 stuck in first gear.

You write

"If the hole in the shifter is worn to approaching round then replacement should be considered as well."

Is it det holes in top of fig. 4.

Hi,I'm not David but you should not need anything
to fix. Remove the trans filler cap on top and
using a large screw driver or small bar, realign
the shifting forks to center. If it continues to
be a problem try to shift without "sliding into
the gears" and don't raise up on the shift lever.

Hej Bjarne,
Chuck has beaten me on the reply but just to add a little more. Remove the oil filler cap and look across the selectors. If it is stuck in first gear it will be the furthest selector which is forward. Using a big screwdriver or similar move it back to neutral. Check the gearlever for excess turning movement. You may be able to slacken the locking ring and turn the cup to drive the pin out. You will NOT be able to remove the gear lever. Lift it up shlightly and check for wear in the lever pivot. Fitting a new pin will sometimes give a 100% cure. Re-turn the cup and tighten the ring. Ensure that the gearlever is in the selector.

I try to use my own photos where I can.

Regards

David

Thanks for the god answers. I will give it a try.

I was asking to the fine photos that I think was scans of a book. The picturs was showing the gearbox and the "shifter rods".

My english is a little short, but I hope you understand the meaning.

Hello Bjarne,
I have looked at the pictures now from the link. They are from the genuine MF 135 workshop manual.
The layout is the same. If you are looking for a good manual then I would suggest only the genuine one. Alternatively there are cd copies available on Ebay and other places. Other manuals do not contain the amount of information that the genuine ones do.
