1010 reverser ??

[BROKE AGAIN]

maybe someday i'll know enough to help someone out here instead of just asking for more.
i keep reading about the snap in the reverser lever. looked in the manual and can't find anything. will look again though,
mine moves smooth. no clicks, hang-ups, or snap. moved more snow with it again today. never had a problem with it not working. changed ALL the fluids when i first got it.
if i get up against something that it can't push both tracks spin.no slipping what so ever. i would say there's a 1/2 a second between continued motion from the time i flip the lever.
just concerned is all. i prefer to maintain my treasures rather than fix.
thanks

1010 reverser is a hyd.reverser not an overcenter clutch reverser--clutches are engaged with oil pres. Randy

There will be a slight delay when shifting, this is normal and desireable.

Correct adjustment via the rate-of-shift screw is . . . with engine at full throttle and transmission in 2nd gear - you should be able to shift back and forth, forward to reverse, reverse to forward and get a quick firm shift with no "snap."

That being said - I don't like shifting at full throttle with old machines with an unknown amount of wear inside.

thanks for the help

i agree with not throwing the reverser lever around at high rpms.
i don't open the throttle more than 3/4 and even then i'll back it down or push the clutch in before i change direction
