S.O.S. snap ring location ?

[mikeinfl.]

Hello,
Does anyone know where this snap ring goes in an s.o.s. trans ? . I got this one out after I drained the fluid and ran a magnet inside
Thanks,
Mike

I'm guessing some sort if internal linkage pivot shaft, like maybe the PTO interlock.

881? Ground speed shift shaft has snap ring about this size.

Thanks for the info !
I don't want to, but I don't think that I have no other choice but to tear into the trans

If everything's working fine, why would you tear it apart? The chances are good that the snap ring is a part that someone dropped while working on it years ago and didn't feel like taking it apart further to find the dropped part, so they just installed another one and closed it up.

Sean, if you've been following this you will know that everything is not working fine for Mike.

Larry & Mike, Sorry. I thought that this was an "out-of-the-blue" question. I must have missed the other thread.

I think that is either band servo 2or3, fits inside the main spring on the servo shaft. I don't think the shop manual even shows a picture of it.If that clip falls out you have all kinds of spooks that the diagnostic chart doesn't cover.Allows the servo to telescope instead of actuating the band. Good Luck

Manual says they (servo's) can be worked on without tearing the tranie apart, do you know if that's true ?
Thanks ,
Mike

One servo can be removed and serviced,one can be serviced by pushing the servo head out by tightening the band adjustment . You must refer to the shop manual for this procedure and if not done properly the band strut will become dislodged and then you're in trouble a complete tear down will be reguired. T.S.Dye
