Angry its just one of them days

So i found. that the little spring clips in the 3-4 clutch were upside down and the metal clutch plates in the 3-4 were to small......so hopefully replacing and fixing these probelms will get my 3 and 4 gears back.

I didn't have a choice. my rent was up at school and I was trying to get going.
I had no way of diagnosing it. didn't have much say in the issue

I'll look when I get home today, but I believe it was in the ATSG manual.

It is true,they say remove them,some 3-4 clutch makers say leave it or some.Not a seriouse item.If you air checked 3-4 why didnt you see there was a problem? With the problems/mistakes you have found you are making it will be a miracle this thing works properly.no offense good luck.Did you figure it out or did you bring someone else in?

ATSG recommends you remove the 3-4 load release springs. I hope all is good and you have 3rd and 4th now.
