Are there any folks here that are "better than average" with their knowledge of these units?
I'm running into an issue with the reverse idler gear on a trans that I semi-recently took apart. Basically --- the reverse idler gear is able to slide along the shaft *somewhat* unassisted and lock itself into gear without needing to hit the reverse shift-head or rail.
I've read the manual up & down and do not see anything that I missed. I swapped the idler with another idler that was in slightly better shape. The old idler was reinstallled to the spare trans and does not have the same issue. You can force it into reverse without using the head --- but it's rather difficult compared to my "good trans" The "good" trans has been partially disassembled so that I could re-set the idler where it belonged. Got ten to twelve good shifts with the trans standing "vertical" and then the idler slipped again. I doubt it's because the trans is vertical ... but I want to confirm regardless. Last thing I need for this focker to lock itself into reverse on the road and I would be unable to get into any other gear.
Has anyone else ever run into this? If you need to discuss in greater depth ... I am can call you at a convienent time. Just PM me the number.
