Looked for a thread on this topic but found none. My new Viking sometimes is difficult to get out of gear. Reverse and High etc. Other times works fine. Sometimes when stuck in gear I feel like I am going to break or bend something getting the tran to free up. Is this normal?

Thanks

I am occasionally experiencing the same thing. Usually a little tap on the gas of loads it enough to shift normally. Mine seems to be getting better with miles on it. See the attached discussion from a previous thread http://www.vikingforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=681

I think that it is normal. All the girzzly 700's (including mine) do it too. I just burp the throttle when it sticks, and it lets go.

Ditto on the little gas bump. Mine is getting easier and easier with added hours.

Oh, no worries here, this site seems ok with sharing info with other sites, i was referring to the vikingforum.net, not liking members to talk or refer there members to this site-Vikingforum.org.
