With the help of Neil for Family Adventure Outfitters my Orion HD 003 is back up and running. Haven't taken it on the trail yet, but have put some load on it to try and get it to pop out of gear and it hasn't.
AA went through the case and all they found was the shift rail a little askew so they replaced it. They said everything else was within tolerance. Hopefully, that was the cause of it popping out of gearsin low and 4 wheel.
At their suggestion I readjusted the linkage and releaved the tranny hump to have more clearance around the twin stick shifters. Apparently 2 common causes for popping out of gear are not full engagement and hitting the tranny hump with torque and flexing and in general movement. I also made sure my motor mounts were in good condition.
I'll get it out on the trail soon and give it the full test.
One thing I did notice is that the case hits my skid plate now. Probably the extra weight of the case hanging out the back end. Anyone figured out a way to add additional support?
