Trans T 176 ?

[kickstart]

Anyone know why this would happen?

That would be a “no” from me. Anxious to see if someone has a theory.......

I went through two on my T177 before I rebuilt it. I had to replace all the shift arms on mine. My theory is that the warn shift arms where allowing too much travel on the shifter.

When you refer to shift arms are you talking about shift forks or rails?

Thanks

Shift forks. Sorry

Check out the 1st/2nd shift fork. The contact area on one side is completly gone! no problems with the shifter cap since the rebuild.

I was thinking about the forks on mine but cannot find any info to check dimensions and verify wear. Yours was easy to determine mine still have both ends. (-:
I'll get a picture of mine on here and maybe someone can help.

Looking at this picture the front fork shows wear on the right and the rear not so much but have nothing to compare either to, The reverse fork I have no idea about any wear on it.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Seems like there were some plastic end pads at the top of the Y also that came with my rebuild kit. I had to get a new one also because mine was worn at the ends and also you can see here.

What kit did you use?

Novak

Thanks, That may be the best way to go.

How long ago did you rebuild? I checked the Novak site and didn't find a rebuild kit.

 

[Belizean]

Still there. Those might have come with shift fork I bought later, not with kit. Couple years ago. Maybe call and talk to them also.

I thought you were talking about a complete kit including the forks.
I decided to order everything I could get to completely rebuild the entire top including the shift rod. Hopefully that will take care of business.

That kit from Novak your showing is crown and that is what I put in and bent so I found a NOS kit and that will go in with the rebuild. The nos kit is a bit heavier and I hope harder.

I'll let you know how things go.

Thanks

Don't think it was crown 2-3 years ago because i know the bearings were from Japan. Oldest bearing company in Japan.

I thought you were talking about the kit that has the part that I put in the first post of this thread.

Well I finally have all the parts to rebuild the trans top, all new shift forks, reverse rocker arm assembly, new case cover, poppet balls, shift lever, NOS Trans control housing cap, spring and retainer, and backup lamp switch.
I now have to figure out how to shift the Trans with the cover off. When the control housing cap hooks bent I know it was in gear but don't remember which gear. Any suggestions how to shift it without the top on it?
The manual states "Place the forks in the third gear position after checking the shift operation" after rebuilding.
I'm not a transmission guy so this is new territory for me.
