OK it sounds as if it is nor pulling the planetary set far enough to engage. There can be two reasons for this, the most common is the cable just isn't pulling the planetary far enough to engage due to either adjustment or a stretched cable. You should have 2 adj. points one at the rev. box and other at the shift handle. To a lessor degree I personally run into the same problem and it was due to old grease buildup. In cooler temps the grease had hardened therefore not allowing the planetary to move it's full travel. Your lever will travel beyond the detent which holds the lever into the rev position. Try to pull rev. handle as far as it will go while holding it in the rearmost position see if it will engage. If so this indicates cable adjustment.
