Doing some work around the property, very minimal driving and low speed. I’ve noticed on two occasions (a few days apart) when I attempt to shift from 2nd to 3rd, it sounds like it attempts to shift but stays in 2nd. Then, I upshift again and works normally. But to add to it today, I reversed into my garage today and upshifted to put the machine in neutral but it stayed in reverse. Tried a few times to no avail. Turned machine off, started it immediately, and it upshifted normally.

I read a clutch adjustment may help so I did that but have not taken it back out since. Hoping that is all, but any idea or similar experience as to what it may be? Thanks 👍🏼

If not for the R-to-N issue, I'd say not enough revs going 2nd to 3rd.

Beats me, I can't even spell mekanik...
We used to advise not babying the thing; drive it a bit aggressively... they seem to do better in general, especially when new.
