Thank you for the contact information.

According to them I need to bump the transmission back into alignment, get the three bolts through Yanmar, and reinstall them. He mentioned it would be a five minute job once I have the parts from the Yanmar dealer.

Now I've got to locate a Yanmar dealer near me.

Certainly sounds easy enough and I hope that's all there is to it.

If you'll read or TRY to read this extract from my Yanmar 2002 shop manual, you'll see why I didn't bother to pull the pages to send to you way back in the beginning. Maybe if I had the xmission in front of me and read the description a few thousand times over, it may have seeped in through osmosis, but I gave up early as it just did not make sense.

Thank you. I will review this.

At the moment, I'm searching for the part numbers of the three bolts as well as the shims I need. I'm not sure where to get it. My transmission is the Kanzaki KM2P with a 2.62 gear ratio.

Edit: Got the part numbers from the catalog.

Shim Set:
177088-06380

Center Bolt:
177088-06360

Collar Bolts (Need 2):
26013-080252


I guess I'll just order them up and see how they fit. Praying the threads catch and everything works out!

I took some photos of my Kanzaki KH2P Transmission shift assembly lever area you are asking about. I have no leaks of fluids in or around the area and see no signs of a weep hole you ask about as well. I know its not the same transmission as yours, mine is for a Yanmar 3GM30F but is shows how the assembly is attached. Sometimes it helps to see a picture as well as a reference point. Not the easiest of places to get a good photo, but you’ll see the matchup.

Hey everyone — it’s a great day out here, and I just wanted to share a small win. I’ve officially solved the transmission mystery!

I got in touch with a technician from East Coast Transmission, confirmed the missing parts with Yanmar, and ordered everything I needed through a Yanmar parts dealer. The whole order — just a couple of bolts and shims — ran me about $80 including freight, and I’ve gotta say: they fit like a glove.

Best part? No more transmission oil leak. That’s one big item off the checklist. Still plenty more to go, but this one feels really good to knock out.

Appreciate all the help and advice from everyone here — more updates soon.
