  • hagen tranny presure Ridge Runner

    I'm new here guys so hang with me. I have what i believe is a 71 ridge runner in mint condition. I traded a club car for it on CL. Best find ever, I know.

    In transit both the hoses for the steering pistons fell of due to being old and crusty. I replaced those with correct ID tranny hose.
    My problem was (I've sort of fixed the issue) how do you properly bleed the lines that engage the piston / clutch puck.
    I drilled the rivets on the steering column and pulled it out, took a bottle of type f with a feeder line and cracked the bleeder up top. Then pumped the lines and cracked the bottom making sure the (what I believe is the filler on the top) was full at all times. I now have forward and reverse movement and drove down the street and back.

    edit: Also what is the max fill on the hagen. Ive read 1 QT type A trans fluid. Would atf be better?

    55 views and nothing. I wish I could find a service manual. Here is a vid of it running today.

      I guess most folks here are like me, they have never seen one. It is a cool looking vehicle though.

        Welscome to the site!

        I'm somewhat well versed in the transmission myself. I've got one in my Muscateer. I am actually looking for a second transmission and a ridge runner sled as well!

        I'll Link you to my thread


        The third post has the link to my build thread, there is quite a bit of information throughout that build.

        I've got my transmission filled to the top filler hole.

        As for bleeding I'd have to see what your setup looks like in comparison to mine to offer advice.

        Hope that I can assist.
