PROBLEM
PROBABLE CAUSE
RECOMMENDED CORRECTIVE ACTION
Transmission does not shift.
1.
Low oil pressure.
a.
Check oil pressure, adjust as necessary.
2.
Air leaks on inlet side of pump.
a.
Repair or replace pump.
3.
Control linkage loose or adjustment not correct.
a.
Check
control
linkage
for
proper
adjustment.
Transmission engages very suddenly (rough
shifting).
1.
Primary setting of the relief valve not correct.
a.
Correct primary setting of the relief valve.
2.
Adjustment of control linkage not correct.
a.
Check
control
linkage
for
proper
adjustment.
3.
Operation of load piston or differential and
safety valve not correct.
a.
Repair or replace load piston/differential/
safety valve as necessary.
4.
Valve springs are weak or have damage.
a.
Replace valve springs.
Shifts slowly.
1.
Low oil pressure.
a.
Check oil pressure, adjust as needed.
2.
Adjustment of control linkage not correct.
a.
Check
control
linkage
for
proper
adjustment.
3.
Air leaks on inlet side of pump.
a.

4.
Operation of load piston or differential and
safety valve not correct.
a.
Repair or replace load piston/differential
and safety valve.
5.
Orifice in modulation relief valve not open.
a.
Repair or replace modulation relief valve.
Transmission engages but the machine does not
move and the engine stops.
1.
The gears in the transmission cannot turn.
a.
Parking brake is on.
b.
Planetary in the final drive has broken
gears and cannot turn.
c.
Differential has broken gears and will not
turn.
d.
Too many transmission clutches are being
engaged in the transmission.
1.
Release parking brake.
2.
Replace planetary in the final drive.
3.
Replace differential.
4.
Repair
or
replace
transmission
clutches as necessary.
Loss of power during or after a shift.
1.
Two or more clutches wrongly engaged.
a.
Repair or replace clutches as necessary.
Pump noise is not normal.
1.
Loud sounds at short intervals that give an
indication that particles are going through the
pump is caused by pump cavitation (the sudden
making of low pressure bubbles in a liquid).
Cavitation is caused by a restriction or an air
leak in the inlet line to the pump.
a.
Repair or replace pump.
2.
A constant loud noise is an indication of pump
failure.
a.
Repair or replace pump.
