If you own a Rincon, and have had problems with your transmission, vote appropriately and state, if you would, what the problem was.

If mine is cold the gear selector will not shift in all the way into drive. It goes in gear, but is short of the detent/lock gate. If I drive forward slowly and let off it slips in. Only happens if she is cold and only on first shift into gear, not second time, it goes away on the first. Since I figured it out I just warm it up for 5mins and no problems going into gear ever.

Anyone else with this quirk?

Yes, pretty much exactly as you describe. Didn't count it as a transmission "failure", as I'm pretty sure its just a linkage adjustment question. Was that way off the showroom floor.

Problem is an annoyance, a minor one at that. And it is slowly going away, otherwise I'd of fixed it.... meaning attempt the FSM adjustment, or the frame for the shift.

I think cold, the idle is higher, and the detents on the adjuster are set so it barely gets to right point. Does not do it in reverse. Center that, and it goes away, I suspect.

Of the 6 negative votes so far, only patterson has posted a problem. How about the other 5 listing what problems they have had?

I owned a Rincon for less than a week, took it out the first time and the turbine inside the torque converter shattered and took out the trans. After that I traded it in and got my Rubicon.

Maybe its just me... but why do I doubt your story?
