I recently aquired a T-150 (in a box) and Am having trouble with the Snaps that Hold the 3rd gear selector collar in place. Its hard to describe, But the 3rd gear shift collar captures thes snaps and the snaps help to locate the shift collar.
I have assembled the gearbox on the bench and have shifted it through the gears, and inevitably about the fourth or fifth shift into 3rd it will balk and refuse to go into 3rd. upon removing the shift cover, I find two of the snaps in the bottom of the gearbox.
Do i need thes things or is there something Im doing wrong? Im putting the outer tension ring in like it shows in the Chiltons manual I have.
My other question is about the snap rings this thing uses, I cant get the rings back on! Especialy the little ones. I got the bigger ones on but the little one that holds the input shaft into the front bearing is being very stubborn. These rings have no eyelets and are very stiff. Can I substitute 'regular' snap rings for these?
Thanks In advance
