It was really nice today, so I took the 200es for a ride.

Ran perfect all day. Only had one problem, sometimes when you want to get it into N you have to pull the lever up with your hand really hard almost like its binding? But only sometimes, It only happened 2-3 times today. Shifting into any other gear is like butter, nice and smooth including High, Low and Reverse.

It never did this last fall. It is due for an oil change but I dont think that would cause it. I would of searched first but the search is MIA.

It could be the detent on the trans, mine did that, and the detent spring was bent. It could be that or the shift drum. Just my $.02 tho

You would be surprised what an oil change will do. I had an ATC110 when I was a kid that started shifting all funny. Rather than dick around with the tranny, I sold it to my older brother who proceeded to change the oil and viola! Magically the shifting issue was gone. He then sold it.
