I am in need of some assistance. I had to rebuild the t96 3 speed transmission which was a piece of cake for the most part. I also had the flywheel resurfaced and got a new clutch kit. The clutch kit came directly from the clutch factory and not through Vermeer. I installed it and it seems like either the pressure plate adjustment is out or the throw-out bearing is slammed against the fingers.... could be both. When I installed my transmission, I could hear the clutch being compressed as I tightened the bolts securing the transmission to the bell housing. I did try to drive it and it did move but it acted like the clutch was being pressed. I need to know what clearances I'm supposed to have. Vermeer does not carry a shop or service manual for a 1988 Vermeer V-430A. Just a parts manual and operator's manual. If anyone knows please let me know! I'm desperate! Thanks for your time and attention to this thread!
