My SM420 works fine, except it pops out of 3rd
gear, so while I have it at a shop I want to have someone give it a thorough going over. Thanks in advance. | | |

I may be calling on y'all for advice as I go along -- maybe we can produce a Tech Tip out of it?
Thanks,
John

I added them to the Links section. Go to "Links" (Use the link at the top of this page), then go to "Parts." You'll find a new "Transmission" section there.
I found a bunch of good info at those sites. Also, as stated above, NAPA and our usual parts vendors (like Jim Carter et al) sell 420 parts, too.
Regards,
John
