2000 Argo Conquest Transmission Help

[AlbertaRider]

I pulled my tranny out in order to rebuild it because it keeps jumping out of gear. The laptop I had my manuals on has bit the big one and I cannot for the life of me find the link to it again. If anyone has one or knows the link to a transmission repair manual it would be greatly appreciated. I have not taken one apart so it is probably quite important to have one thanks
Sorry Mike, I should have put this in the Transmission forum.....not sure how now.

Give this link a try, it is where I got mine.

Thanks Moos, this should get me rolling! I had a shop manual that described the tear down and reassembly procedure, but unless the computor guru gets my laptop working I may be SOL. Im going to start ripping it apart today and hopefully the problem is REALLY evident so I know what to replace.

Ok, i found what i was looking for...i'll try to put the link in.

Hope this works.....

A/R, when you get that thing apart look very closely at the input shaft gear and the sliding gear. Maybe even take them to the dealer and do a side by side look see. It should be very apparent if there is any degredation or brinneling on the gear teeth. // RR

Gotter ripped apart...not hard to figure out the problem.. Going to do all bearings and seals while im in there. Idler(reverse?)gear and bushings. Main gear shaft and both sliding gears. Oh well, should be solid afterwards.

Hey buddy dont throw that input shaft out, it makes an awsome tool for your driven clutch. Clamp it in a vise, solder a piece of 1/4" key stock in the slot and screw a piece of all thread in the end. // RR

As long as you're in there you may want to check the planetary bushings for wear.

[AlbertaRider]

I will definately be going through everything checking for wear. I already notice that I will need to send in the main case to get milled out, the reverse idler shaft mount is worn oval and needs to be built up and milled out. Not too many people around here can do that, so I'm hoping to find one in GP, a couple hours away.

Hey RR you have a photo of this tool? Sounds like it would be like a puller or a slide hammer type thing if I built it like you say.

We use it to service the clutch once it is removed from the machine. It holds the clutch where you can work on it in a vice and disassemble to clean and lube or adjust spring position. I will try to get a picture of it on here, it works very slick.

The boss that holds the idler shaft is ovaled? Wow, have never seen that but it answers the question of why it pops out of gear... good luck.

That totally makes sense, i could have used that tool a few months ago...ya, the guy who owned this before me must have been quite the handy man...i mean i was missing some snap rings and retainer clips, not sure if he put all shims back in, etc. i will be checking tolerances very close throughout the reassembly. The majority of the bushings seem good, but once i get my parts list together ill make that call....i sorta have a budget...every dollar i spend on my toys, she gets to spend the same on herself.lmao!

Thanks for posting the PDF AlbertaRider sure it will come in handy.
