I am going to have my buddy come by next week and we are going to pull the transmission and go and have it checked out. Looks like a heavy but fairly simple job. Was I wrong all this time and driving it in 'Freewheel' with the lever pushed in?
Thanks

Sure sounds like it's not working to me, hard to see how anyone could read this as "normal" operation!
