Troubleshooting
The first rule in transaxle troubleshooting is to check for
proper adjustment of the belts, belt guides, brake
clutch, shifter, and linkage. Check pulleys for sheared
keys, bad keys, bad bearings, or damaged or worn
sheaves. If the problem is related to shift difficulties,
make sure the belt fully declutches and check all
linkages for proper operation. This assures the
problem is not associated with belt disengagement.
Internal Service
Repair procedures for the Peerless 820 transaxle are
available from Tecumseh Products Company,
