Precision shifter issue

Not enough pressure...crank it up, not down.

Like Fred said, crank up the pressure.

Make sure the shifter cable is adjusted properly . I adjust mine on the 1st gear detent . This will make sure the detent in the transmission matches the detent in the shifter .

Thanks guys. Doubled checked linkage and increased pressure to 120psi and it works in the yard on a low rpm chip.

I don't know what kind of controller you have, but first make sure the duration of the shift isn't overwhelming. The pressure has to shove, then relax so the pin can fall and let the shifter get ready for the next shift. Sounds like its bound up to me, not letting it relax.

I do the cable adjust in second...

I agree. I fought this for awhile. Adjust in second. Put air up to 120. Prior when it was at 80 psi one night it was really, really cold and the pressure went down and would not shift. Now zero trouble and with only 500 psi in bottle and still going.
