Also Bob… there wasn’t a screen on the top of the shuttle clutch cover fill hose plate. Doesn’t look like it was ever there. The one manual seem very detailed about removal of the shuttle clutch, but the illustrations are missing that each step refers to. Is this how it shows for you?
Ok…I will stay the course to pull engine tomorrow. Sorry about pics.. need to make them smaller file size I guess..
if the transmission gear shifters are in neutral, shouldn’t the shuttle clutch spin free? This Is why im torn on where to look. I started working on pulling engine this afternoon. Can I see this input shaft under the shifter cover? I had it off but did not see anything obvious.
also, am I wasting my time? is this part available. I talked to Keno, affordable and one other that I cant remember and no gots…..
Don’t know what part you are referring to. No pic that I can see.
The shuttle clutch assembly…or is this rebuild able?

Wow! That’s some compliment. Thanks.
Ok, ATF is the wrong oil for that application. Don’t know where that idea came from. These are geared friction drives, and should be using an AGMA rated oil. I recommend a minimum ISO AW 100 Machine Oil and Caterpillar TO-2 SAE 30 Torque Fluid, but you can substitute ISO AW 46 or 68 hydraulic oil. Anyway, the damage has been done. My sympathies. Personally, I have never pulled one of these clutch assemblies, but it does seem appropriate to remove the blade and wishbone and go in from the front. If you will PM me your email addy I will send you what I have on the shuttle clutch. Hint: I keep all my files backed up on a remote hard drive – just in case.<u><span style=”color: #000120; background-color: #bfe6ff;”>Thanks again Bob! :good: I cant figure out how to PM on this site but heres my email</span></u>LOL … I will take any images or instruction you have.DanI’m not completely convinced that the shuttle clutch is the problem, but it wont turn. Internally the engine shaft is spinning but assembly will not turn. It wiggles left and right a little and you can see the whole shaft wiggling all the way back to the pto box. What ever happened is in the area of the shuttle clutch. Cant see problem with my inspection camera. Any idea how assembly could be stuck. The engine shaft spins freely inside the assembly. before I took apart I ran engine and engaged the forward and reverse lever, the engine would bog and almost stall and smoke came out of shuttle clutch dip stick hole.
I will post a picture of the damage to shuttle clutch later today when I remove the cover. It appears that you are a legend Bob!! After contacting the third dealer for the part with no success, they directly referred my to you!!
Do you still have the pdf on the parts manual? You sent it to me years ago and 3 computers later it did not survive!! lol
Once again thanks for your help Bob!!
