I just changed the chain case fluid and when I went to cycle the reverse all I get is the reverse beeping but the reverse isn't working? When I pushed the reverse switch the actuator isn't moving at all. Any thoughts on what I may have done wrong or maybe bad reverse switch? First time starting it this year so not sure if it worked before? Thanks!
 

You're a tooth off on the shift actuator.
Same thing happened to me the first time.
When installing the shift actuator, you should not have to rotate much to get the bolts in.
If you're trying to duplicate the rotation, when you removed the last bolt, there's your smoking gun.

Here's how to assemble............................

Extension detente needs to be facing straight down.
Detente plate, for lack of a better term, needs to be parallel to the housing with the spring installed.
Engage the gear so bolts can be installed with little to no rotation of the actuator.
Fire it up and shift a minimum of 3 times.
This is the machines learning process for where forward and reverse is.

Done. Now finish the rest of your list and dream about lots of snow!

Last weekend was tree cutting and marking trails. Today we need to build a new bridge on a new portion of
trail. I am with the Stewartville Driftskippers. Never enough volunteers anymore but we get it done.
