Hello, I recently had something go bad on my Farmall 450. I new the transmission clutch was kinda getting worn out, just hard to shift. One day I was driving it and wanted to put it in reverse, I always needed to pull on the shift lever pretty hard to get it to go it and slowly let off the clutch. This time something bad happened. I can't remember any snapping or breaking noises. I can only shift it into 4 of the normal gear locations. I can't tell which ones, but 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. When I try to put it in one of those 4 positions, and let off the clutch, it promptly kills the engine. It kinda reminds me of trying to start out in 5th gear, I could never do that. I always had to be moving to get it into 5th for some reason. I just assumed that is what I had to do to get into 5th. Never thought of that as anything weird. If I leave the shifter in the neutral position, I am definitely is a gear of some-sort, I kinda feels like 1st or second for the speed that the tractor moves. But when I do that even for very short periods, you can definitely smell a burning clutch. When I push in the clutch, the engine seems to run normally again. It sounds like a couple of gears are engaged at the same time?? I know there is a panel on the bottom, just not sure what I should be looking for, if I remove it. Seems like the shifter stills moves stuff around inside, So I would assume that is not broke. Any help in a diagnosis would be appreciated. Just what to look for. I called a tractor shop, and he's saying it could be upwards $3K for fixing. I'm pretty mechanical inclined, so not too afraid of taking things apart. The Farmall 450 has an Independent PTO, and a Torque Amplifier, and is Gas.
