Hey.
Thanksfor responding, and you know i didnt want to sound like an ass by commenting on that manual, but ill agree, its pretty useless, lol.
i took the belt cover off but need to check the idle and i had already questioned the owner about the oil, and that may play part also. im going to change the oil, and take the shift cables off, maybe pull that shifting mnechanism off and have a look.
what sucks is that only SONME parts are available, and say if the main shaft is bad, and you cant get it, its replace the transmission.
Ill keep you posted and thank you again!
Chris
