    Just got a new SM420 from Herm not too long ago and its grinding in second gear. I would have called Herm but I'm dreading his response to say pull it and send back to him. I just moved from Washington to Illinois and personnally went down to his place to meet the guy. I would hate to have to take on shipping costs before exploring my options. Any suggestions?

    Call Herm and tell him this. He will want to know. As soon as you mess with the trany, you have voided the warrenty. Herm is very understanding, but I doubt if he is that understanding! I would not be. However if you want Professional help, Herm is your man!! He will appriciate being the first one you call and if there is a quick fix he will know it. He will not want to have you ship it unless he has to, so you are already both on the same page. Do not try to hide anything form him. He will be able to tell if you ran it without gear lube or some other silly thing. Folks do this all the time, AMHIK. All they acomplish is to ruin their relationship with their mechanic.
