My 455E John Deere track loader is in the shop. The mechanic just told me that I am supposed to use the clutch to shift from reverse to forward high or low. It has hand levers for steering and it has a shifter for neutral and 1-4th gear. It has another shifter lever for Reverse and forward high and low. I use the clutch to shift from neutral to 1-4th gear, but I shift from neutral, reverse, or forward high or low with the other lever with out the clutch. Pretty sure that is what I was told when I bought it years ago and that is what I have always done. It shifts smoothly with out grinding or jerking with out using the clutch to shift between reverse and forward high and low. I would look in my manual but I left it with the mechanic. Some one who has used this machine please inform me of the proper operation of this machine.
Thanks
