Stays in 1st gear
2011 RSS SE5.....Everything works fine except that it doesn't shift into neutral at shut down. This requires me to manually shift into neutral to start it, even if I have the brake pedal depressed. Any advise? Thanks.

It’s not supposed to shift into neutral at shutdown. So let’s review - the SE5 uses oil pressure to move the shifter linkage in order to shift gears. Thus the motor has to be running in order to shift gears. So, if it’s in gear when you shutdown, it stays in gear. Now then, when you want to restart, you place your foot firmly on the brake pedal and go through the normal start process. First the motor starts, and THEN, it shifts to neutral once it gets hydraulic oil pressure. Takes about a second or less after the motor starts. That signal that your foot is on the brake comes from the brake light switch. If your machine is not starting correctly, it’s a different problem than you thought. Do your brake lights come on?
Edit- Oh Hi Peter. Didn’t know you were there.

Yes. If you need to shift the transmission, but can't or don't want to start the engine, the back of the shifter arm has flats on it that fit a 13mm wrench. Use the wrench to move the arm one direction or the other. See post #9 in this thread for pics.
