After working the L2850DT for a couple hours the transmission would not engage and I heard a humming noise a little bit like a 2 stroke dirt bike. It happened last time I used it a few months ago and suddenly started working after it sat a while so I changed fluid and filters then.
Any thoughts?

Is it possible you bumped the lever to an intermediate position between high and low range?

Yes! I checked it and that was exactly what it was. The shifter lever for high to low was in between positions.
Thanks
