Thor Automagic transmission locked up

[adam-aussie-vac]

Hey guys, so I recently got my new Thor automagic home and the transmission seems a bit locked up so do you guys have an idea of what I can do to try and get it to free up? I do have two of them so I’ll have a better look at both of them on Wednesday as I’ll be heading out of town tomorrow.

The machine was stuck on Dry when I had it, and the control cable broke. I’m hoping it’s similar to a bicycle cable so I could probably see if I can get a replacement made or what, I’m not sure.

probably severely congealed grease or oil is the cause-could put in gasoline or diesel,let it sit a few hours,then start working the pulley back and forth till it starts to rotate.

Sounds like the same problem with my first Thor. Dissemble, open up transmission, clean, replace with new oil.

Could be the attached pump is stuck as well.
