Title: smoking belt
Post by: superfox on October 11, 2017, 08:03:21 PM
well I finely got the t20 tore down. the left side ring gear drum clutching teeth worn, shift thang worn, it seems that the inner plate was backwards. also found right side planetary drum down about 100 thousandths. back to the left side it did not have a washer between ring and inner plate. all bands are bad. can I find a good parts t20 or do I just bite the bullet on parts. I also could weld up that 1 drum and cut it back down but rather not.

wedge I just got a barn find after digging through empty boxes and outboard engines a t20 he said it was in there I was beginning to wonder. just pulled case apart. looking good so far but no shifters and a crack, but my case is ok. you have 12 and 24 tooth set, does it matter right or left? if so the 2 or different, if it makes a difference stop me somebody
   
Title: Re: smoking belt
Post by: wedge on October 13, 2017, 05:51:30 PM
. I would try and stick with one or the other myself.  When you say 12 or 24 Tooth ? Sorry you lost me as I am drawing a Blank  :-[
If it looks good and is the same as yours ( flat bar / channel ) you should be able to make one good one then rebuild the other later .
Do you know what it came out of ?
Title: Re: smoking belt
Post by: superfox on October 13, 2017, 05:56:25 PM

If you are talking the shift collars they are 9 tooth or 18 tooth.  The carrier plate, shift collar and ring gear drum all have to match (9 or 18 tooth).  It doesn't matter which you decide to use but I would think both sides should be the same.  I don't know how hard it would be to shift if one side was 9 and the other 18.
Title: Re: smoking belt
Post by: superfox on October 13, 2017, 07:00:20 PM
the parts list has 9 or 18 tooth shifters and drums just don't know the better of the 2

Title: Re: smoking belt

 mine is all mixed up they match but mixed up
Title: Re: smoking belt
Post by: whipperag on October 13, 2017, 07:13:42 PM
This is the 9 tooth shift collar.
Yes all 3 need to match.
I'm sure you could run 9 tooth on one side and 18 on the other,
and you would never know the difference. I've never duun it.
I think the 9 tooth shifts beter. ;D ;D banana banana banana banana

sounds good is there a difference between flat bar and channel guts?
 
Title: Re: smoking belt
Post by: ascaw on October 13, 2017, 07:34:34 PM
I was once told that the flat bar T-20's were the 9 tooth and the channel was 18 tooth, but I don't know how true that is.
Title: Re: smoking belt
Post by: wedge on October 13, 2017, 07:37:02 PM
The Flat bar (popsicle) is the early one. and the Channel is later version .
Look at the post in the T20 section here. Whipper put up info on Lateral Slop. It shows both versions there.
If it doesn't have Thrust washers it is more than likely the Popsicle trannny.
