yea it does feel like it goes all the way to 6th i think you may be right about the worn gears.Sounds like either the shift keys are worn, or the internal notches in the gears are worn - assuming that your linkage is okay.
At a standstill, engine off, does it feel like it's going all the way into 6th? Maybe the linkage needs to be adjusted, or the sheet metal is blocking its full travel.
Well I think Iam just gunna go ahead and put a new tranny in that was my original plan. I know it could be fixed but I dont want to keep fixing it.There are a couple of threads around here about changing the shift keys, and some great pics that will show you how the tranny works. The shifts keys aren't expensive, but the gears are a bit pricey. Do you have any problems pulling a load in any other gear? My shift keys would skip when going uphill, but were okay on the level.
My symptoms were different from yours, since my tranny would "skip" in any gear when under a good load.
Sorry, I haven't a clue about that.would you know if a pearless 400 would fit in?
darn do you know any members that might?Sorry, I haven't a clue about that.
I dont think the belt is the problem but where could I order an 800 series one?I dont think they make a 400series. its probably a 600 or 800 series transaxle, http://www.cpdonline.com/691218.pdf the 800 is industructable. you might want to put it in 6th with the clutch up and see if the belt is hitting the shifter.
no doubt lmaoMan, your not playing around anymore
