Hi HI!
First time replacing something like this. It’s an older 3 knob control with hot and cold knobs on the left and right side and a shower/tub faucet control in the middle.
The hot and cold knobs seem to be working great but the shower control knob only diverts like half of the water to the shower head when opened and still quite a bit comes out of the faucet. The stem I took out looks pretty much the same as the new one I put in so not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Also, does anyone know how to remove the faucet? There is no tension screw on the bottom or anything. I tried to twist it off but it didn’t budge and I don’t want to apply more force until I’m confidant on what to do.
Thanks!

American Standard rebuild kit. Can’t seem to figure out why water keeps coming out the shower spout. Replaced diverter, seat and nothing is working! Any thoughts? Appreciate the help in advance
My tub/shower has three outlets: rainfall shower, hand held shower, and tub spout. I got a Delta T11851-CZ 3-position diverter, hoping to use it for these three functions. I don't want any shared functions (e.g. tub and hand held at the same time). I want the diverter to use one position for each function separately. Is this possible? Right now, the diverter does rainfall, rainfall/handheld, and handheld. no tub.
The link below shows what the plumbing looks like. Note - the long red PEX on the right isn't hot, it goes to the tub spout. The plumber just ran out of white PEX.

I just got my first home, and the main bathroom has a tubshower combo with 3 handles. The hot and cold work but the diverter doesn't seem to fully close/work right. It opens fully to the tub but won't close off for only the shower. I was wondering if there is any easy solution or I had the idea of leaving the diverter completely open and putting on a tub spot with diverter to diverter the water to the shower instead. Would that work or is this something I should hire a plumber for? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you!
If its not diverting completely that means it’s the cartage inside that is messed up. Depends on the brand it might be a bïtch an a half to take off but its doable. The easiest way to try to fix this problem, sprey some WD40 and hopefully that loses thing up
Identify the brand, (and model number if possible) and purchase a new diverter stem assembly. Worst case, bring it in to a plumbing supply house to be identified.
I don’t think it’s typical, but I think it’s a cleaner look than using a pull-up diverter on the tub spout (and they always seem to drip when closed). I know it can be tricky finding a diverter valve with 3 individual stops with none shared.
