grits, thanks for the link, however my tranny is brand new. it doesn't even have the 2-speed gears on it yet. also i understand fully how the tranny works (minus the binding part)
IL2mSturmovik, no, this is a stock lst2 tranny, but i'm going to do an FOC on it. i wanted to eliminate the binding so that i could have the stock tranny as a back up.
Ok.
Now in your 1st thread you had stated "after you put it back together"
To properly help you I need more info.
What did you do to it, why did you open it, was it already dragging, etc etc.
I spent probably 24 hours of my time learning the LST2 tranny, and everything about it.
I suffered the same problem, (binding, but after I installed the FOC, putting all the shims back in the stock locations)
and as a result, I dissambled and reassembled my tranny probably 20 times.
Ended up being a combination of shimming and me tightening the tranny screws too much
They ONLY need to be snug, not wrenched tight!!
You should be able to grab the input shaft, and spin it with your fingers with minimal resistance, other than grease sticking inside it to the gears.
I was determined to get mine perfect, and I am confident I did, but hopefully my knowledge gained can help others
