My 2003 Recon ES will shift into reverse great when cold. However, after riding it will not shift into reverse. Once it cools off, it will shift correctly. Any suggestions?????

 

have you looked in the service manual

 

Don't have one yet. Plan to order asap.

 

yea that is best to do i am researching my my little sis"s it is the same year ect....

as for as now i have know clue

 

have you checked the oil back there and i cant find the service manual on my sis's so for now check the oil and let me know

 

Fluids fine.
Getting code 11 when RPM's get high. Cleaned all contacts without success. Have ordered speed sensor. Hopefully, that will help with codes and reverse problem also.

 

idk if that al work but if you are getting a code it might be the chip they had a recall on that we had to change ours

have you tried to manual shift is using the tool if not go and ride and get it hot and try to shift it manual ****

let me know

 

Yes, the speed sensor is what is throwing the code. Sounds like it is telling the ECM by resistance that the unit is moving, not allowing it be put into reverse.

Thanks Gimpster!!!!!!!
It will be next weekend before I get the sensor and get it in. I'll let you know if this solves my problems.

 

Just a heads up though, rear of the engine there is a plate covering the reverse cable pivot. Under that cover is a reverse switch also. Just for kicks you should try grounding the wire going to the sender when the issue is occoring. The switch may still be bad. It does need the speed sensor though. I have had a number of speed sensor failures on recons and it causes all kinds of driveability problems one wouldn't think is affiliated to it
