P500 Shifting issue

[Jessedude13]

Hi all
Ive had my p500 for about 6 months now its a 2013. I recently ran into some isues since using it more. After using it for a couple.of hours today I fel it having issues shifting gears up. It then did not let me shift into neutral or drive from reverse. If i leave it shut off for a couple of hours and restart it , itll work for a bit then give me the same issue. Its now parked and i cant even shift into reverse, neutral or drive. The neur sign in the dash just flashes. Has this happened to anyone ? Any ideas where to start ?

Try adjusting the clutch. There's Youtube videos showing how to do it. You can also manually shift it with the tool under the drivers seat.

Oil issues? have you checked the level or changed it?

Trigger is right about the Youtube videos. I have been watching them, it’s time to adjust my clutch on the p520.
Just waiting for warmer weather, there was snow today in central Wisconsin.

May also have a bad battery, they are very picky if voltage is low. How old is the battery?

Welcome @Jessedude13 . ^^^truth in all of the above^^^, first easy checks for shifting issues is oil level, battery (voltage & tight terminal nuts and main frame ground) and the clutch adjustment.
Have done several adjustments since 2017 as needed, if you turn the adjustment screw too far it will actually cut out (engine retard feature) - thinking my last was 1/3 turn after baseline counter clockwise turn to slight resistance. May take some turn-and-test drive cycles. Here are two videos.

Just did the clutch adjustment and it shifts a lot better.
