Hello. I've got a K working in the bush that is sticking in gear, slow shifts and hard to pull into gear at times. The pump is not the issue, has lots of pressure. Its a brand new pump this spring and there's no air leaks as the screen holds oil until unbolted. I was wondering if this could be a differential or load valve problem? Or priority valve issue perhaps? Please help. Thanks. Much appreciated.
sounds like a priority valve issue to me. Had that happen on a D7 few years ago. Turned out that o ring in priority valve had failed. Pieces of it floating in the priority valve caused same problems you are having except, as I recall mine did not stick in gear. Not a big job to pull the priority valve, take it apart and see what you have. It is right under the cover just below the seat. Good luck with her.
Hey Greg turns out it was a little piece of rubber stuck in the load and safety valve in the top of the transmission!
What a great thread this turned out to be. Right on Good heads up Greg
I don't think this thread has anything to with you buddy I suppose your another one of those guys that always ask "what's the biggest dozer" or "where's the fuel cap on my D3"
No, I think he meant that Greg hit the nail on the head and we all like our problems to be so simple to fix. I know I do.
Glad it worked. My bill will be in the mail. baaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I like my problems simple too.
I wasn't being sarcastic. I was just mentioning how well, 'Greg hit the nail on the head" and that a members question (problem) was answered promptly and worked well it worked out for him. I'm glad that it did, and advocate this being a great site with good members. Didn't mean anything negative at all.
