I'm working on a 272C sn RED. While operating this machine strait travel in turtle then go to rabbit at high idle, the machine will stall for a spit second then go forward. The rabbet indicator light will eliminate and it feels like it is still in turtle. With the machine in turtle and the machine is turned to the right or the left it will go into rabbit with no stalling. With machine not moving, shift from turtle to rabbit then move, the machine will be in rabbit. While machine is moving and shift from rabbit to turtle the machine will stall for a spit second, shift down to turtle and stays in turtle. Checking the pressure of the charge pump, 450 psi, its at the low end, spec is 480 psi plus or minus 30 psi. Check the voltage to the two speed valve and it was 12V when two speed activated. Install a new two speed valve with no change. Was going to head for the motors next with thoughts there might be a damaged two speed selector or valve spring. Any thoughts. Thanks.
