    Max IV reverse on one side ?

    I recently purchased a 2001 Max IV. It will go straight back in reverse and will turn on one side, but when I try to turn on the opposite side, nothing happens. Could this be an adjustment issue ? No problems whatsoever in forward.

    If you have no problems in forward I would assume one side is not going into reverse. I would place it in reverse and shut off machine, get out and visibly check that both diamond shifters are pointing rearward, if not you can shift the side by hand and then start up and try it again. If it works fine adjustment or learning the shifting process is the issue, if not could be another common issue.

    There are pinch points so be careful.


    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
    Joe Camel never does that.

    Advice is free, it's the application that costs.

    I know this is probably a dumb question, but where are the diamond shifters ?

    There are no dumb questions. Just ones that need answering. Jim will tell you that the diamond shifters are where the linkage shifts the t-20 trans. they are shaped like a diamond and right on top of each side of the trans.

    I agree with Jim but you may have to go a step further. Remove the diamond shifter from the trans there will be a little pin on the bottom, if it’s wore your machine will give you a problem. I just finished putting 2 new ones in my 4. I ordered them from Richard
