P1000 Paddle shifter issue

[Plumber101010]

Surprisingly nothing came up under search which means maybe I'm the only one?

I don't use it much in fact I don't think I've ever really used it except to check it out when I first bought it. Today I was feeling wild and crazy and took it down the trail but the left shifter won't bounce back.

You can pull it and it will downshift but then it just stays in that position and you have to manually push it back, as if there is a spring in there or something that's come loose.

Any ideas before I take it apart?

There have been a few issues with the paddles...some the bolt was to tight. Id say a shot of 3 in 1 oil will probably cure your issue.

Our Farm Rig has this issue and some WD-40 cured it and it never came back.

I'd bet your lack of use has allowed it to get crud in there and freeze it up. Last 12 months or so I use mine exclusively. Mine hasnt shifted in auto since.

Actually it's quite the complicated set up for something as simple as a paddle shifter.

But it's a much deeper issue than WD-40. I have it somewhat disassembled now and just can't figure out why it's not popping back in place.

Everything is hooked up right, everything looks identical to the other side that does work. Yet? Once you pull it up it stays there.

Quite the mystery

Actually you can scratch the above. Well, it's still a mystery, but I put everything back together and it suddenly started working again. Who knows. Maybe WD-40 needed time to penetrate some of the hidden areas after all

It's got a ball detent on the bottom side. Might have gotten gummed up down there.
