I wasn't going to post this now, as Charlene is having starter issues..again, but here goes.
I just changed her transaxle oil, like I posted it was a heavy oil, 80 or 90 weight, not 10w hytrans like required. I went back with a lightweight oil as specified. Last week after cranking her up I took her for a spin around the property, just warming her up checking fences. I went thru all the gears except 5th, and ran her in 4th DD at low throttle a while. After a bit I heard a distinct noise from the transmission, a clank-clunk, clank-clunk. It was like the pendulum on a clock, with an even rhythm. More throttle and the straight pipe exhaust covered up most the noise, but it was still there...
It only happens in 4th...well I haven't tried 5th as the pasture's too rough.
Someone commented on changing transaxle oil and hearing noises like mine and thought they might go back to 90w to stop the sound.
Whacha think?
