SUCCESS!!!! Got the bushing installed with some good grease, slid the gearshift back in place and BINGO.....she shifts like BUTTA BABY!! 1st through 4th feel like silk. It's crazy that the bushing would disintegrate in 3000 miles but that's what happened. Thanks to everyone for the...

coolhandmatt......you were right on the money! I decided to pull the gearshift out and see what that bushing looked like and found a bunch of little bits (see picture). I was amazed at how difficult it was to pull the gearshift out of the hole, but when it came free it popped right out...

So I had a little time last night to mess around with it and I can't see how it would be the bushing (unfortunately). Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong though......I would assume that if the bushing is worn and allowing the gearshift to sit too low to properly engage the fork, I should have...

coolhandmatt.......thanks for that info!! I just logged in to bump this thread to find your post with some excellent information. I will try that in the next couple days and see if it helps. It is a really strange scenario.....the gear shift just doesn't want to go in to 1st or 3rd. Luckily...

So I put 1.5 pints of gear oil in the transmission and it doesn't seem to have improved my shifting issue. Anyone else have any suggestions or experience with this issue? It just won't shift in to first and third. If I push pretty hard, I can get it to ALMOST engage in to first gear. I can...

FYI for any other SEE owners.....the drain/fill plugs on the transmission are 9/16" allen. I didn't have one that size, so I made my own out of a bolt with a couple nuts welded to it. Worked well. I stuck my finger in the hole (why can't they make it so you can see in there???) and the oil is...

Soooo, I finally had a chance to spend some time on this, and I already have a question. The largest metric allen wrench I have in my set is a 10, and it is WAY too small for the transmission oil fill plug. I realize I need to buy a larger allen wrench, but does anyone know what size the drain...

I haven't had really any time to check into it unfortunately. I will check transmission fluid level this weekend. My unimog still drives fine and has no problems with the transfer case. It just feels like it doesn't want to "engage" in 1st or 3rd gear. If I hold it in first it moves fine...

I've noticed that my FLU419 is getting harder and harder to shift into 1st and 3rd gear. It doesn't seem to go completely into those two gears....it will pop out if I don't hold the gear shift. Is there a shift fork or some sort of linkage that can cause this? I drive the thing quite...
