When I am in either low or high range and get into a bind I have hard time getting into reverse. Sometimes after wheeling in low I have a hard time shifting back to high. It seems to stick or bind in gear and will not go out of that gear. I just had a new drive clutch put on and it still does this. Any suggestions?

Check or have your shift linkage adjusted. These rods being out of adjustment will cause the same type of problem. Good luck

4wheel is right,it's in your linkage.
Pull your right side cover off,change gears untill it does.Look at the shift rods to see which one it is,then adjust the nuts accorddingly.
It just takes a little fiddleing

Could also be the idle set too fast. This causes the front pulley to put just a little drag on the belt (it is worse if the belt is new, too). This puts a bind on the shifter through the transmission.

Simple linkage adjustment. My dealer adjusted mine in a matter of minutes.
