Dave did you get my message? I'm trying to find out if there is a trick to putting the top plate on the transmission of a L295DT. I took it off to replace the gasket and can't get the shifting forks to align.
If you have a vent on the transmission it could be clogged up. My L295DT has one under the seat and I stuck a piece of wire in it to unclog it. I am in the process of replacing the gasket though because it blew the gasket when it clogged up.
Yes if it is 4 wheel drive. I have an L295DT with a front end loader and it screwed everything up on the steering.It even bent the push rod in the power steering cylinder.
