Is there some adjustment and if so where? My shifter goes fine into all gears except Low. it grinds when not engaged and it happens frequently. thanks

Grinding when going from neutral to any other movement position running is an indication that the belt is rotating the transmission input shaft and that happens most often when the one-way bearing/sprag is seizing..which is very common on all with them in the primary clutches. Just remove the belt, reach in and spin it with your finger. It should rotate one way smoothly and quietly and lock the other way. If this isn't the condition just replace it. If it is, then look to dirt and dust packing into the flyweights. Clean and service both clutches..which should be done every so often anyway.

Thanks but it seems different based on what you describe.

It seems the shifter is not freely moving the tranny to Low gear. High and all other positions are fine.

If I move it back to H and again to L, it will work just fine, but about 1/3 of the attempts to go to L result in the noise and no movement.

Shifter needing adjustment?
