Removing Stripped Bolts From Derby Cover - 1003 days old
This problem arises because most torx kits do not come with a #27 bit in them and a #25 is used by mistake. They must be purchased seperately.

When doing a primary oil change ,pay particular attention to how far you insert the drain plug into the cover as the magnet on the end can contact the clutch basket if inserted too far and make a real problem in there with bits and pieces.

ATF In The Primary - 129 days old

Shift Arm Linkage - 943 days old
Reading through some forums, one thing I see constantly is the stock shift rod ball ends breaking and coming apart mostly on baggers but it does happen on other models as well.

Finding Neutral - 181 days old
Many times it's posted that there is problems finding neutral.
The biggest point that is never brought up about finding neutral is to do it before you are completely stopped. It will drop right in then.
