I purchased a Hustler and currently working through the problems to get it operating. I could not get the transmission to engage so I took off the shifting mechanism. After reading that I could shift this with a screwdriver, I put my finger in the hole. I turned the driving sprocket and found that there does exist a groove that the shifting mechanism sits in. Well, when I turned the sprocket by hand I found that the previous owner had broken off about 1/4 of one side of the groove.
Question: How difficult is it replace? Cost?

The part is called a shifting collar. How do I access it and replace? What is the estimated cost?
thanks

Jim, There are lots of writings in the archives and other places on this site about working on a T-20. Get a manual from Richard or RI and you will have no trouble. You have to dismantle the tranny to replace the shift collars. A new one from RI is about $140.00. If you are going at it cold turkey, block the tranny up so it is sitting on the right output shaft with the driven pulley up. Lift the left half off the right half (center plate holds left half together, right half is open.
Just remember how the parts go and don't use force (bigger hammer theory just costs time and money) - you won't have any trouble. Make sure band piston o-rings are put on from the outside and use lots of Vaseline. |
