t20 noises

[coosaridgerider]

When i turn hard to the left the transmission makes a popping noise,it also does this in reverse and it is hard to get it in gear.Any suggestion would be very much appreciated

Are you sure it's the transmission making the noise? I would guess it was either the chains, adjusters, or the jackshafts. Is this a Max II or IV?

Mike, that would be my guess too. Loose chains. I would also check the bolts that secure the t-20 to the frame. My MaxIV had the transmission mounting bolts come loose which would torque the t-20 and make the chain jump a tooth or so on the sprocket. Turning puts alot of force on the drive train. I would also check all the idle sprockets.

I checked the shifter plungers,one was hard to turn so i took it out and the plunger pin was missingand the transmission was low on fluid,every thing is working good now.Thank for the info.

I want to thank every one for the help and support.It seems like i'm having one problem after another,I guess this is to be exspected from a used machine that was not properly maintenanced.That is probably why i got it so cheap.The reverse is only pulling on the right side,I tried to find an article about this problem.Any suggestion.Once i get a couple of little bugs out of it i will have a good machine.

Try pulling out the diamond shift lever. The pin may be broken off the bottom of it. That could be your problem. They're about 20 - 30 bucks. Good Luck

I'm only pulling on right side in reverse,any suggestions.I want to THANK every one for the help and support.

i would pull the left side diamond shifter and look at the condition of the shift pin. with the shifter out, you can use a screwdriver to move the shift collar. fire it up and see if it goes. if not replace the shifter or shift pin
