08 M8 gearbox is fine it shifts easily by hand and works flawlessly. The problem is that the servo seems to be over-driving and actually binding into reverse and it can't pull itself back out. Undo the servo reposition it and it works again. But after a couple of shifts it will jam again. Any ideas??
Getting stuck in reverse??

I'm having a similar problem with my 07 M1000 w/mech reverse, I'm thinking of converting it over to a Manual actuated style. Peak Performance has a kit for like $40.00 and eliminates most of the servo and like 2 Lbs.
If you find its the servo i have one i would sell cheap.
Definitely not the servo, maybe the CCU telling it to run too long. It really wedges itself in there when it gets stuck. Only way out from there is to remove the servo and then it will shift out fine once the pressure is off of it.
Replaced the switch because it was working intermittently. Still has the same problem.

Just haul that servo out and convert to a manual, such as the Peak kit. Or, you can DIY. Pull the actuator cam out of the servo, cut off the rack on it, and weld an actuator arm to it just as the Peak kit looks. Just follow the Peak instructions re. disabling the reverse switch. Easy. Save weight, and more reliable by far. Be prepared to be amazed at how tough the steel the actuator cam is.
