Hi all, I’m hoping that someone may have some advice to my 1997 Case 580 LE with TLB1 shuttleshift reversing problem. The machine goes forward and 4wd perfectly. When engaged into forward it goes in within a second or so but sometimes might take 3 seconds, I have searched the forums and found similar problems but I’m hoping for possible answers. Some time ago, ALRman gave me some good advice which I have done, changed the transmission fluid/filters etc. and the electrics are working perfectly and have even replaced the solenoids. I can hear/feel the relays and solenoids clicking in but it’s a bit hard to determine the intensity or difference between forward and reverse on the solenoids. I had a mechanic come out and remove the modulator. He took it back to his workshop and said that the snap rings are ok and it was a bit sticky but didn’t think it would affect it working, he didn’t run a kit through it and I don’t know if he had bench tested it. He put it back on the machine and still no reverse. A few days after the reinstallation of the modulator, I was pulling the machine backwards with the bactor (pain in the backside) and reverse kicked in and worked perfectly for a few days then I noticed it was taking longer for reverse to kick in and the last time was about 10 seconds. Its back to square one with reverse not working again. Every now and again Ill put the machine up on the stabilizer, put in reverse and let in run for a while but still no reverse. The mechanic said he needs to check pump pressures on the tranny but to my way of thinking, if it goes into forward and 4wd without a problem, shouldn’t the pump do the same for reverse? The mechanic is talking about dropping the tranny and all I can see is big $$$$. Has anyone got any advice?
