Post Brand new GTR stuck in neutral?
Went frogging saturday night in my brand new 1848 uncle J and about 2 hours in to the trip the gtr was stuck in neutral. Switched to forward and nothin, didnt hear the clutch pick up or any thing. reverse worked fine but no forward. after about 5 mins of toying with the switch, I turned the key off and restarted and everything worked just fine! anybody ever had this problem?

Sounds like a bad connection or a faulty switch.

Yea made it back no problem, jus wondering if this was a common issue. Motor ran fine the rest of the night and ran for about 2 hours today with no issues. Gonna stack some hours on this thing and hope it doesnt do it again.

You sure you're not just stuck on a mudflat with a Prodrive?

Sounds like the connection on the trim / forward / start panel may have come loose?

if you have any bit of slight common scene you can always make it back home, back connection,


Note*-if you ever blow a fuse or have to straight wire it, a 22 mag casing fits perfectly

Only reason yall bitch about the creature comforts is because yall prolly cant turn a wrench to fix them if they gave problems. Everything is breakable and replaceable even yourself.

Ill say it again, it aint about the PRODUCT, its about the mofo's bitching about a phucking lawn mower motor, with some moving parts behind it. AInt no one here has a problem with a GD, cause most of us were around GD before the SD's came out. Yall preach simplicity, Ur right, some folks buy em for that, some buy em cause they cost less, and some don't know better. I really dont give a phuck its there money. I will spend money on what I want not what i have to settle for. Kinda like a truck. I want something with nice options, FUK a Work Truck model, and Hell yeah i want reverse on my truck, Surface drive, and on my Outbard that i dont have LOL.

take a bobcat skidder and beat on it all forking day and see what you end up with............

its the nature of the beast

power+rpm's+abuse= failure
they are mechanical devices that to be honest all use the same concept so means they all break.


Is drinking for lunch sociably acceptable in texas bc if so yall phags need a drink

Like hunter said a little common sense and you can turn your gtr into a start in gear engine to get in,you can jump the trim switch to make it move there are lots of things if you have common sense that you can do to get in if something happens.

Broken belt housing was about 6 years old, I know of 2 broken GDSD shafts and BB knows of another that were less than 2 years old. You can get in with a cracked housing.

The other thread you speak of was out of hand before I got there and as usuall I will not sit there and let the typical crap go without a response.

For those of you who have bought and run GD's good for you I hope you enjoy it
