93 argo vangard 2 tranny???what is it...

[I]what is the stock tranny called..[/I].?

at idle... warmed up... the belt turns over slowly.....
should the belt be stationary at idle...??
and the machine grinds into..... low or reverse......

how do i fix that ..other than turning the motor off /then shifting...

how do i slack or tighten belt....if needed...

[B]is there shifter lever linkage adjustments.[/B]..it feels very sloppy..

i havent pulled things apart yet ,,thought i would ask first...

and it seems 80w-90 gear oil@ 1.1l is recommended....true?
should i use that nappa stuff..equ-torq additive??

my argo has the 20 hp honda installed.....!

also how can i beaf up the break system...heavy duty discs?/shoes...safer.. emerg second syst???parts sources for ideas...
m new and argo virgin,,,help....please...

i thought Vanguard 2's and Conquest's were not introduced untill '95? if you have a 20hp Kawasaki you must have an early 8x8 Conquest? or someone did a nice engine swap for you, most older machines did grind a bit during shift change but how bad is yours grinding? most shifter levers are a bit sloppy but your could be a bit worn from age and use, just use 80-90 no additives and if your brakes system is a bit loose you can simply buy new brake pads for it, its the best $30 you can spend on a used machine

hey thanks..yes it is re-engined...with kawi...

do you know if there are hi -perf/quality discs and pads.. where is the best place to buy...and what brand ,,if theres a choice

oh wow!....well then if it is a '97 Vanguard 2 thats a 6x6 with hydraulic brake upgrade, and a 20 horse Kawi liquid pulling it id say you have a very nice machine!!! now there is always a choice it all depends on your fab skills, but for just remove/replace you are stuck with genuine Argo pads/discs pads are around $30 and each disc is around $90 and you will be turning like a new machine!just be carefull removing the secondary clutch to replace left side disc!

hey 8 wheeler...
im an idiot...
just getting back ito my argo after purchasing it over a year ago..

yes it is 97.. but when you said water cooled i knew i gooffed...it has the 20 hp honda....

what are your concerns when doing the left disc....
