Hye all
Details per below:
Model: 980G
Machine SN: AYT249
Engine SN: BET5197
Reported when on auto shift, after changing speed from 1 to 2, then 2 to 3 and so on, the machine speed did not increase. Suspected the clutch disc slipping and was confirmed since we can smell the burnt oil once opened up.
However, once we checked the trans pump pressure tap at the filter side, found that the pressure is 100psi, and only built up to 300+psi after a while. Not gradually. It stayed at around 100psi and after ~3mins it raises back to 300+psi. This is while stationary and neutral.
Tried testing the machine while in motion and by changing the speed manually, found that the pressure drops and did not rise back up UNLESS the machine is stopped (brake and machine speed slowdown). Brake used was either the drum brake or the clutch neutralizer. Happens to all forward and reverse speeds. When the pressure is back to 300+, machine runs fine and speeds up as per normal. Hence why when it was on auto mode, the pressure can't catch back up, which causes the clutch disc slipping. And here's the catch, this issue is intermittent sometimes gone after 20-30min which made me believe it's electrical.
The previous team has open up and checked+clean the control valves, and also replaced the transmission pump since there was some internal noise.
However, issue still persists.
Anyone else have encountered similar problem?
No fault code also when checked with ET.
The only thing that I can think of is the current signal sent to the solenoids not strong enough to fully open and engage the clutches? Or a faulty ECM?
If it's the clutch piston seals leaking, shouldn't it be unable to reach the spec pressure?
Control valve was open up and cleaned, so might not be the neutralizer valve, or a blockage. No external leaks too.
Any advice on how you would troubleshoot this.
