Hi all

I have a mooney m20e with electric gear. Testing the manual emergency retracting system I found out that it does not work due to failure in the mechanism inside the "Dukes drive connector" which acts as a clutch that connects/disconnects the cable for the emergency extension handcrank.

The problem may be the cable and the dukes drive connector (diagram attached).

Any idea of where I could find a replacement?

Thanks!

First I would remove the parts from the plane and clean them.  A few years ago I found the grease in mine had turned to a solid and would not allow the system to work.  A complete cleaning and new grease fixed the problem.

Thanks to both.

We have already taken the part out of the plane, cleaned it and tried... but it just does not work when it is installed.

I have contacted LASAR with my fingers crossed.

Merry Christmas to all!!!
