on the t-20 were the u shaped bars connect the driving bars with the steering on the transmission. There are four bolts two on each side, the bolts screw into plungers, my plungers sometimes stick but not to bad. Wondering if it would hurt the plungers if i hit it with a shot of wd40 or some other lube. Also the bolts i pulled from the t were 1" 1/4 long they dont seem long enough. They only thread in to the trany one or two turns does any one know how long the bolts should be.

I typically just squirt a couple of shots of motor oil in the plunger holes after I wash everything down after a ride. I had always heard not to use WD-40 on orings because they will dry them out long-term but I saw a study a while back that proved otherwise. I tried searching for it real quick but I only found this one that was testing orings for chain: Chain O-ring WD-40 exposure effects study and results - ADVrider According to that short study, WD-40 had no-to-little effect.
The bolts for the plungers should thread in more than a turn or two. What is stopping it? Does it hit the U channel? Does the head of the bolt go down into the channel? -
the bolts i believe were the wrong bolts. i bought 1" 3/4 instead of the 1"1/4 bolts that were in it. also bought the tool to keep the bolt head lock pushed in. seen online that the bolts should be tightened to 20lbs per square inch that seems way to loose that is less then finger tight?Comment

The torque should be 15 inch pounds. You are correct, that is very loose but the tightness of the bolt isn't what keeps it in place, those bolt retainers in the channel will prevent it from loosening or tightening any more.Comment

Put it in reverse and then look at the diamond shifters. Make sure that they are fully engaged. If not, turn the machine off and gently engage them by hand while rocking the machine back and forth a little. Leave it there in reverse, start it back up, and see if it stays in reverse then. If so, then you may just have a linkage problem that is preventing it from fully engaging reverse. Sometimes the angle that the linkage is pushing back on the diamond shifters needs to be changed a little (usually by just bending it by hand) to allow it to go all the way in reverse.Comment
