When I was putting the 22 into the garage for the winter, I couldn’t back it up my very low slope driveway. I had a bunch of things to do before I could get into it to find out what was up. I took the transmission cover off today and I can’t see anything wrong. The triple gears look fine, the drum shows no sign of heating or cracking, and what little I can see of the gear on the drum looks ok. It has Kevlar bands. The only thing I can think of is that the band needs to be tightened. The reverse has always been loud. But maybe that was a result of band slipping?
Anyone have any other things I can check?
Sadly, it’s has been down to -22 and snowed 2-3 feet over the last week, so I won’t be able to test drive it till spring.

Re: Follow up on no reverse
The amount of pedal travel should indicate if the band is too loose.

Re: Follow up on no reverse
Just couple quick thoughts? Is it possible the pedal is hanging up on the floorboards preventing it from tightening the band enough? Another possible? The cam ramps on the pedal shaft, the one on the pedal itself and the one that bolts onto the hogshead, if badly worn (doesn't take too much wear to be too much!) will run out of lift before the pedal can reach the floor.
