Default major problem with my predator!!!!

i was at little sahara ok. ripping up the dunes when i lost 4th gear. thats right.....it will not pull in 4th anymore. when i shift to 4th it sounds like a rachet is spinning.....very loud racheting sound. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th work perfect.

i am so very unhappy!!!! its going to the dealer on monday.

i remember somebody on here had a simular problem.

I think the other person, if its who i think your talking about, found out a bolt had come loose inside the tranny, and it was stopping the shifter from going into forth..a quick and LUCKY fix, if you ask me!

Hey vilnrk - sorry to hear about it man. Yea I checked the other guy with the same issue - it was just a bolt lodged in the gear case that locked out 4th and 5th gear. When the bolt was removed by the dealer the problem was gone. So sorry craptor owners - no tranny problems for the pred. One out of many thousand is a far cry from the 01 craptor tranny issues. And we are not even sure of the problem vilnrk has - It might not even be a tranny issue - so dont jump the gun craptor owners..

Hey Vilnrk, I was sorry to see that happen to you. It was running great up to that point. I was impressed. Hope it's all a simple problem and is cheap, quick and easy to remedy.
