In Reply to: massie freguston mf12 transaxle posted by howard junkin on Sunday, January 12, 2003:
Have been told that if you pull up on the gear
shift lever on Massey's
while trying to shift, you can jam up the gears
in the transmission.
The article said that you
could pull the cover off the transmission and
with a little fiddling, get the gears back into
alignment with your hand or a light force with
a rod or something. I'd look at the underneath
side of the shift rod and see where things would
go astray if the rod were raised slightly. Then
look in that area in the transmission.
It said that you should have the load off the
transmission which means engine off (of course)
and be on flat ground, maybe a little rocking of
the thing while trying to get the gears back in
place.
The article did not suggest that anything would
be damaged when this happens.
The reversing of the rear wheels is what the
differential does for you and is no problem.
They only go the same direction when driven from
the input shaft, not the other wheel.
Good Luck,
Mark
