I just took apart the transmission of a 500 Rubicon. Anyhow, everything works fine, but it creeps in Neutral - basically does not go all the way into Neutral. I'm pretty sure everyting was put together right. Anyone have a similar experience?

To better explain, if you give it throttle in Neutral, it will drive in Low gear.

Thanks!

The linkage can't be adjusted right .. It can't be in neutral ..

I think the linkage is adjusted right - there is no point where it gets Neutral properly. The light indicates Neutral correctly and everything. It just isn't actually in Neutral. It looks like I might have to take it back apart to see if something is put together wrong.

Yes the sub-transmission must be together wrong .. Do you have a Honda shop manual for the sub-transmission section ..?

Yes, I've got a factory manual. Just took it apart, and it looks like I probably had a gear on backwards. I'm putting it back together now and keeping my fingers crossed!
