clutch/trany problems

[Nilram]

My Naa has what I think is a worn clutch problem. The clutch adjustment has been turned as far as it can go but there are times when I have to stop the froward by using the brakes. That being said I now have problems getting the shift lever to go into 1st and 3rd gear. Lately I cannot get it into either of them. I plan on splitting the tractor to install the new clutch. What should I be looking for to correct the shifting problem or, will the clutch replacement correct this?

Your description is the classic symptoms of a sticky clutch - You could try blocking down the clutch pedal when parked to see if that will alleviate the problem.

Oil gets on the clutch material and makes it expand to the point there isn't enough clearance when you depress the clutch pedal to fully disengage the transmission.

You could try slipping the clutch for just a bit to see if it will burn off the oil but don't get carried away and fry the clutch.

If you decide to go forward with a clutch install, get a kit and hold out for an American made product. It's also a good idea to replace the input shaft seal while you have it split just in case that's where the oil is coming from.

#1 look under ti and make sure the cotter pin drain hole is open and the cotter pin is free to move around.
#2 pull the starter and spray the clutch with brake cleaner spray. As the other guy says sounds like a sticky clutch caused by oil on it.

What about the inability to shift into 1st & 3rd gear? Nilram

The clutch is not fully disengaging! When you ry to shift, you probably are grinding gears. The best fix is to split it and replace the clutch and trans seal.

When I read your post, I assumed you couldn't get it in gear because it was grinding.

So if I understand correctly, you cannot select 1st or 3rd gear (even with engine off) but it will go into 2nd, 4th and reverse? If that's the case, my previous diagnosis is incorrect - Could be worn/bent shifter or shifting forks.
