Lowes axis 500 stuck in neutral

[JGou]

Have an axis 500 bought from Lowes.. Have had to adjust the shift linkage  1/2 doz times in the last year.. Now the UTV is stuck in neutral.. Seems to shift ok through gears but neutral light never changes, and wont move at all when running.

Only have 13 miles on this 4x4 and have had no other problems... Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thx,  Jay

I'd disconnect the cable at the engine/box and try moving the lever down there to see if it goes into gear, then if it works ok down there I'd look at the cable and top-end shift lever and mechanism..  Nothing in the transmission should be wearing or needing that much adjustment..  It's almost certain to be in the cable or fittings..  something bending perhaps ?

I am having  the same problem 😕 

I am not sure what cable you are referring to.  When I had engine apart everything  seemed to go back ok..... I worked shifter by hand and gears seem to operate as expected????....but when put back no go......shifter feels correct  and lights all work??. 

Any direction  appreciated.

What was going on that you had to adjust the shift linkage so much with only 13 miles on it. You might have overadjusted it i would try going back toward the factory setting not all the way back but just in that direction and see if anything changes. Adjustment may be so far out that it never gets out of neutral or the machine thinks its not out of neutral, and not letting it shift.
