'Lo All, For those of you with Twin Disc Transmissions, but no operator's manual, there is a rather unique operator's manual on the TD website. It is a manual that covers all the TD transmissions, with pertinent tables for each transmission. It is in Adobe format (PDF), so you have to have that program to access it. Go to the following website and click on "Marine Operator Manual". It was interesting to see that for most applications, they recommend oil changes every 1000 hours. http://www.twindisc.com/plma_ld.html Wayne M/V Celestial Albin 43 Sundeck

If the clutch plates fail it is possible to unscrew a couple of plugs and bolt the clutch plates together. While you loose neutral and reverse forward only is a better option than sitting dead in the water. Hopefully this information is available aboard in case you loose your clutch plates. ___________________________________________________ Ross Fleming rossflem@serv.net Seattle, WA

The cost was $38.00 and it is about the size of a TV Guide with a whole lot less pages. >Twin Disk transmissions have a very important feature that owners >should be aware of, a "get home" feature.
