Don't fall for the trap Tony......


Now back to those twin disc trannys. I found Valvoline non-detergent 30w at O'Riliey. $27 for 4 qts! I am looking for the gold....

For those new to sbmar and Tony even though I live in FL I always bought all my parts from him. Always got the right part and at reasonable prices along with excellent advice when I needed it.

You DO NOT want non-detergent oil.. Per Twin Disc, you want HD SAE 30W ( Like Rotella T or Delo 400)for most climates and 90% of the gears.. A few specify 40Wt, but NEVER non-detergent..

Nor sure where you got that info..

I finally had time to attempt the repair outlined by Tony. It was simple. Remove two bolts and one c-clip. The valve body did not want to come out and took some convincing. It is spring loaded so I just kept pushing it down and adding more PB Blaster until the crud was released and the whole assembly slid out except for the springs.

Transmission shifts perfectly again. Total time 1.5 hrs. Total cost $0.
Thanks again Tony.

I did forget to show in the pictures the cap which is held on by the two bolts. This cap is slotted as is the valve stem there. It is this area that collects the contaminates that make shifting difficult. The slot limits the range of the shift throw and it doesn't much debris to shorten the throw to where it can't shift. When I have a chance to do the other side I will post better pics.

Twin Disk Shifting issues

Do you remember how this all started?

I called the local Twin Disc repair man and he said "It sounds like manifold wear. Bring it in and we can take care of it. $8000 max cost."

Glad you listened to reason and looked a tad deeper......

Hopefully those who are reading lean from this. From what I have seen in the 30 years I have been dealing with these types of issues, this is a typical type "Distributor Reponse"..

To me, a really a sad situation exists within distributor service sytems like this--Cummins, Twin Disc, all of them.......... ..

I've learned my lesson on trusting the local reps. I'm getting a similar response from Onan on a minor repair issue.
Thanks again Tony.

That's been my experience too, 60,000 miles offshore over 8 yrs. I'm rebuilding a little trawler now and have decided to try the Rocna. A lot of testing that looks plausible says it's better. We'll see. Tell you in a few years.

My comment is to Tony's comment on the anchor. On topic of this thread I've had similar experiences with "professional" help. I always get several opinions, there are some good guys out there and you just stick with them when you find them.
