So, after going over everything, I found that the reverse shifter has a “lock” button under it. So I depressed it, pushed the lever just a little further “out” of reverse until I heard a click. Then the shift lever freed up, went down to neutral, light came on. All appears to be good! Live and learn. Hope the manual comes soon.

Okay. Thanks again

Thank you for the help. I’ll check it tomorrow and advise.

So it’s possible the quad thinks it’s in first gear so the neutral light wouldn’t be lit, and also allows for shifting into reverse?

I just acquired a 1994 Timberwolf 250 2wd. Drove fine at seller’s property. Got home, I started it, put it first gear, shifted to reverse, backed out of trailer, moved reverse shifter back forward, then nothing. Throttle revs but doesn’t go anywhere. The shift lever doesn’t really feel like it’s going through gears. I can roll it manually forever so I’m pretty sure it’s in neutral, but no neutral light. Then I decided to try reverse again, and, it goes into reverse. And drives in reverse. But as soon as I take it out of reverse, it rolls freely again. I can’t get it into any forward gear. The seller has owned it for 20 years (60 year old man). He didn’t have a manual so I’ve ordered a Clymer (I’m old school paper in my hand reader). Outward appearance is very good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
