Transmission Problems are continuing.
For two seasons I have had transmission problems with my atomic 4 engine.
It appears to have happened when the transmission was in resverse and it was revved high and reverse stopped working.
THe people at Moyer have been very helpful but here is thesituation now and the steps and the results of those steps to fix the problem this year.
WHen we started out before doing any tinkering we had no reverse, although when in neutrall the prop turns ever so slowly in reverse as if a clutch was almost totally pushed in. Forward worked fine.
STEP ONE: REVERSE tightened one notch
FORWARD left as it was
RESULT: Seems that forward and reverse are overlapping, and engine stalls out in forward, some power in reverse
STEP TWO: REVERSE left as is
FORWARD back off two notches
RESULT: Minimal Forward, same reverse
STEP THREE: REVERSE left as is
FORWARD tighten one notch
RESULT: Forward works but stall out immediately becasue of forward/reverse overlap
STEP FOUR: REVERSE back off two notches
FORWARD tighten one notch
RESULT: Forward OK, but no reverse
There is no linkage probelm since arm on transmissionwill not go back any further even with linkage disconnected.
This problem is driving me nuts. It seems to have been going on forever.
I am looking for the following:
1) to understand what is wrong.
2) to find a local person in (Midland area) Central Ontario, Canada who can fix it if it is fixable
3) to know if I have missed trying anything
4) if none of the above what are my options
