I freshened up the transaxle in my 580 k series 1 2 wheel drive with new bearings and a 3-4 synchro hub. Everything else looked very good except the spiders were a bit loose but not bad.
It sounds good , shifts good but as I was driving up a slight grade in second gear it stopped dead, locked up. No noise, no nothing just an instant stop. I picked it up and rotated the tires by hand and they rotated fine. I set it back down and everything seems normal. Any ideas? I'm thinking maybe a loose shift fork but I'm sure I went over them thoroughly. I'm going to pop it apart just to make sure. I'm wondering what else I should be looking for. It has about 2 hours on it since I was in it, so I'm pretty sure I've missed something. It had done it before getting into it while very slow coasting with the shuttle in neutral. It would stop and then release after forward motion quit. I never really found the issue during the rebuild. I attributed it to a sloppy 3-4 synchro.
