Great job after reading your post and contacting stladrill I just tore mine open and orderd parts. I have to laugh at myself I did the same thing you did with the pin but I had read your post allready feeling a little slow for that 1.
And thanks to stladrill this guy is very helpfull and prompt.
I can't say enough about what a great guy stladrill is, thats for sure, if anybody should have a side business on this, it's him and would do well at it :fing32:.
Yep that pin was a stickler for awhile figuring it out. I kept trying to put it in the indentation where the shaft goes back, as it did fit, but the shaft would not go all the way back in, and it has to in order to make everything fit right. If I had blown the diagram up larger, It shows the pin going into the tiny hole above the shaft :fing20:. It takes a little co-ordination to get the part back over the lever sticking up without the pin coming back out, but it will go.
I strongly urge you to take what pics you can with a digital camera starting off and as you progress. It's tough to document everything, I had to keep wiping hands all the time to get critical pics I wanted to remember, but wanted to make sure I had a reference point if something did'nt fit. Of course as you've seen the TT site diagrams are great and detailed just in case.
Remember there are two valves you need to make sure stay in place as well on the side of the part you are taking out here, those little guys want to fall out as well.
One other thing is pay attention to where the sealant goes before you start cleaning the old off. You'll see there is a couple places INSIDE the case itself where they had sealant to channel fluid. And also put rags or towels on the inside along the perimeter of the case to catch any dirt or scrapings when cleaning off the old sealant.
Dirt is a big enemy and the inside of the case needs to be sterile as possible.
Also remember to clean the magnets, one shown here in the pic (not my tranny, but is the same ) and the other is in the cap you take off to drain the fluid on the top of the tranny.
Be sure to check back and let us know how it goes, I hope you get the same reaction I did once complete and back together, feels like a brand new mower in power to that tranny :fing32:
