Model: 2630
It has the "Park" Slot on the left shifter.
I have replaced the shim kit John Deere part RE18116 two different times. The retainer came out again recently and is lost to the world of brush and weeds. I have ordered another kit but am getting weary of laying down $50+ every time this happens. I have read that this is an indicator that the top housing, specifically where the shifter is inserted, is worn & needs to be replaced. The part is $500+ for new and from $200 -$500 used, which is a gamble due to potential wear as well. Is there a workaround for this? Could I use a stronger keeper such as a snap ring keeper, or would that be inviting a problem of another order? Thanks in advance for your help.
