3410 transmission problem ?

[bpg 0]

I recently purchased a 3410 S , but noticed the transmission when going forward or back hestitates or takes a bit to finally move . Belt seems fine but checked fluid level and could notice where it was so decided to drain. Well when doing so i noticed it drained slow cause it was very dirty and mucky. less than a half qt. came out.Then i tried adding new to try and flush out old and it would drain into the trans case. ( i did drive it for 15.min before doing this in order to warm up the fluid )now i cant get any new fluid in case-- can you fill it anywhere else or is thier a way to un clog . (thanks to all with helpful info)

Look towards the top of the transmission and see if there is a plug (fitting) like the drain plug. There is on the standard 3 speed transmission and there should be on yours as well. Remove it and that will allow the oil to go in alot easier.

Number 10 is the vent plug. yours should simular.

If you don't already have them, you can download the operators manual here. http://www.simplicitytechpubs.com/6767PRINT/PDF_files/TP_100_1352_00_SV_S.pdf And the parts manual here. http://www.simplicitytechpubs.com/6767PRINT/PDF_files/TP_400_1352_00_SV_S.pdf Here are some captures from the manual.

Ooops! I see Ray just beat me with a diagram also.
