How does a MTD transmission work in reverse?
How does a MTD transmission work in reverse?
When I turn the drive pully by hand on the bench and shifted between neutral, forward and reverse it looked fine. Trying to decide what parts to replace, gears, differential or what. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Take it back apart. Refer to the image below, or better yet, get your free copy of the online manual from MTD. Look at items # 15.
Why does my MTD not move in forward?
Won’t move in forward and grinding noise coming from gear box. Removed gear box and dismantled. All looks ok, seems fine on the bench but when reinstalled same thing.. Also checked linkage to make sure it was going all the way into forward.
What do you need to know about bevel gears?
These are the two 42 tooth bevel gears that actually provide the means of selecting forward or reverse, depending on which one of the gears item # 16 (clutch collar) is engaged to. Here’s what you need to look for.
Where is the clutch collar on a MTD transmission?
The clutch collar (#16) rides and slides on item # 17 (called the drive shaft by MTD) and has internal splines that match the external splines on the drive shaft. You need to check the splines on the clutch collar and on the drive shaft to see if the is a small section of splines missing (worn off or sheared off) from both parts.
Why do you use low gears in a manual transmission?
The energy required to get the car moving and keep it going varies, and the transmission makes this easier by using gears. Low gears are for low speeds; as the car gains speed, it uses higher gears. With manual transmissions you manipulate the gears using the clutch and gear shifter.
What causes the gears to slip in an automatic transmission?
Low fluid level: Automatic transmissions depend on pressurized hydraulic fluid. A low fluid level can result in lack of pressure, preventing the gears from engaging like they should. This often results in transmission slippage. Solution: A transmission doesn’t “burn” fluid the way an engine can burn oil.
What to do if your transmission is slipping?
Solution: Typically, the transmission must be rebuilt or replaced when the pump fails. That would be an expensive repair. The lack of pressure created by the faulty pump causes the transmission clutches and bands to slip and burn.
What is the role of the transmission in a car?
The transmission has one main responsibility: transmit the power from the engine to the wheels so they can move the vehicle. The energy required to get the car moving and keep it going varies, and the transmission makes this easier by using gears.
