TRS and Velvet Drive Problems
 

My starboard transmission are not engaging. What is the first things to check. Are there any good articles on how the Velvet Drive transmissions work? Are they a single speed automation transmission.

Thanks

Is the oil dark and smells ?? i think u burned up the clutchplates.

How does the shifter work
 

How does the shifter work?

Yes it is a single speed transmission.When you shift to forward fluid is directed to apply pressure to the forward clutch pack.

Shifter Function
 

Is the shifter the lever on the rear of the transmission? How do you assure that it is in forward, reverse, or neutral?

Thanks

Have somebody work the shifters and then you watch the other side that is working.

Have someone shift it while you stand back there and watch.

The bell crank has a ball and spring plunger that detents into the triangle shape plate on the left side. Your cable could be broke or miss alinged. Does it have reverse?

Could also be a broken damper plate on flywheel or blown drive.

Here are a few pics. Shifter from helm is the red piece. Pay no attention to the red-arrows, those were for something else.

Does the unit go into reverse? If it does that wil more or less negate an issue with the shifter and point you at the clutch packs being bad. Is this a new boat for you, or just a problem that just started? Did it ever slip in the past?

I have a 71C that needs to be rebuilt, but it was a 925 Huber Built Tranny. If you are interested in a spare or something, send me a PM. Excellent exterior condition, looks new. Good Luck. It was from my old Cigarette Mistress
