Firstly hey neighbor! Never knew there was such a dedicated mule man so close to home. Just ran into this issue myself and going to start breaking out the transmission soon. Thanks for the relatively easy fix.
Sure easy fix when its on a work bench. Show the steps from the mule to the workbench Repair shop wants over $700 to fix because of the difficulty getting it out and back into the mule itself
I have a Mule 3010 that had low compression and I put a rebuilt engine in it. The problem I'm having now is that while both the primary drive clutch and secondary driven clutch spin together with the engine idling in neutral, as soon as you go to put it in any gear the secondary driven clutch completely stops moving and the primary drive clutch keeps turning so the belt makes a very loud squealing noise due to the friction of rubbing against the secondary driven pulley. I put a new secondary driven pulley and belt on it and the problem still exists. I inspected the two gear selector linkages on the transmission and they both operate freely. I even went out to look at a friend's Mule 3010 and took a video of the operation of the two gear selector positions in high gear, neutral, low gear, and reverse to compare and they look to be identical. Does anyone have a clue what would be causing this? The only other thing I can think of is that when I first went to start the engine, the shifter cable bracket was still hanging loose since it is bolted to the engine and I had to move it around a bit to get it in neutral so it would crank. Not certain if this could have caused any issues, but again both of the gear selector levers appear to be operating properly. Transmission fluid is full and clean. Any ideas?
I have a 4010 diesel and every so often it will pop out of gear for a split second and back into gear and not do it again for another few weeks. I adjusted my shifting levers ensuring that they are functioning properly but I think I may have a cog that is going bad.
Great advice! Should there be any end play in that shaft once assembled? I noticed mine moves on and out maybe an eighth of an inch while reinstalling the secondary clutch.
My 2008 mule 3010 makes a squealing noise when the 4x4 is in gaged. Only makes this noise when the vehicle is moving. The noise is coming from some where in the front. When the 4x4 is disengage, the squealing sound goes away 5 seconds after 4x4 is disengage. Anyone has an idea what is causing this noise?
Gary Moore, I have a 1999 mule 550 2 wheel drive, that grinds going into forward and reverse - unless i basically kill the engine to shift into each...., would this fix work on my model and my issue, thanks for the help.
That's the point in just flipping it. The cog only wears one side. If you think about it. the cog is on the input shaft which only turns only one direction so when you flip it's like new again!
I have a mule 5210 1999: can you still get spare parts for it, I have transmission problem, so thinking shift cog. My chap says no, but just checking thanks
Yes it works. It is the cureu to jumping out of gear. What you have to do is after this is done by all means lower the idle as low as you can. The high idel is what causes the problem. It has to not grind just putting in forward or reverse gear! You can call me if you need any info. 985750939.
Good job Gary! You’re exactly right. I’ve been working on these mules for twenty years but never thought of flipping the the shifting cog. Thanks!
I have an older 2510 muley and this is a great tip to remember if mine starts slipping.
That catch was epic though!!
thanks for sharing your knowledge about this pro tip...I am flipping the Cog / Gear today. Sure hope it resolves my issues of jumping out of gear.
Does it work ?
It's work with you or not ?

Where do you live?
@@garymoore6735 out of Folsom, bout 30 minutes from Angie.
Its work ?!!
Thanks for the video. My 2510 just started doing this. I was hoping it would be as simple as a cable adjustment.
Sure easy fix when its on a work bench. Show the steps from the mule to the workbench
Repair shop wants over $700 to fix because of the difficulty getting it out and back into the mule itself
Can this repair be done without removing the transmission from the frame?
Thank you so much for this Video and answering my call

How long does this repair usually take start to finish? I understand everyone is different but I am just trying to find a ballpark idea. Thanks
Thanks Gary!
How do you fix the snapping popping noise, that comes out of the front end of all the 3010 4x4 Mules ,
Need help with the Kawasaki mule differential knocking not shifting into gear what could it be
Hello I have a John Deere XUV 550 and I have the same problem is this the same transmission?
Thanks

That's normal

Sounds like you need to rebuild the primary clutch.
Adjust your idle lower and try that
I have a 1000 af450 is this the same transmission as mine it's slipping in forward gear ?
Does it require a gasket to be put back together or do you just use RTV gasket maker
RTV which is what ie used from the factory.
Did you ever make a video on how to remove trans from a mule 3010 yet
I getting one in tomorrow and I will make one by the end of the week.
@@garymoore6735 Hi Gary, just asking if the video for tranny removal was made ,been looking for it .That appears to be biggest part of job.
Can you reply with the link to the transmission video? Please?
czcams.com/video/im1vjmoZgR8/video.html&lc=UgzZ0OTp9y50hixFJvR4AaABAg
Will this video more or less work for a 2015 mule pro?
Only as far as the cog being turned.
Any advice where to find a new shift cog I think mine is beyond using flipped I use reverse often

@@garymoore6735 when flipping it won’t reverse then be the failing side? Or does it alleviate both

I should have anything you need. 985-750-3939 Gary
If it is jumping out of gear this will fix it but if there is another problem I do have some parts for it. What is it doing?
How difficult is it to get the transmission out?
It's not easy. I will try to get a video on!
@@garymoore6735 I would like to see that gary
