The torque converter is driven by the engineflywheel. The torque converter consists of impeller(6), turbine (2), lockup clutch (7), and stator (3)which incorporates one-way clutch (5). The lockupclutch permits the machine to operate in directdrive in order to keep the power loss at a minimum.The one-way clutch holds the stator when torqueconverter drive is used. The one-way clutch allowsthe stator to turn freely when direct drive is used.

The torque converter housing is fastened to theflywheel housing for the engine. Shaft (4) connectsthe torque converter to the transmission planetarygroup.

The engine flywheel turns rotating housing (1) andimpeller (6). The impeller directs oil onto the bladesof turbine (2). This causes the turbine to turn. Theturbine directs the oil onto stator (3). This causesthe stator to try to turn in the opposite directionof the turbine. The movement of the stator causesthe rollers of one-way clutch (5) to move betweenstator (3) and the carrier for the stator. The actionof the one-way clutch keeps the stator from rotatingin the opposite direction to the turbine. The statornow directs most of the oil back to the impeller.The remainder of the oil goes out of the torqueconverter. The oil, that goes back to the impellerfrom the stator, moves in the same direction as therotation of the impeller. Since this oil is moving inthe same direction as the impeller, the torque outputfrom the torque converter is multiplied.

Turbine (2) turns hub (8). The hub turns shaft (4).Power is sent through the shaft to the transmissionplanetary group.

Systems Operation Section

Lockup clutch (7) is part of the torque converter.The lockup clutch is located between the engineflywheel and the turbine. The lockup clutch isengaged under the following conditions: sufficientinput speed to the transmission planetary group,sufficient oil pressure in the transmission planetarygroup, and sufficient engine rpm. When thelockup clutch is engaged, the impeller and theturbine turn at the same speed as the engine andthere is no loss of power in the torque converter.The connection between the engine and thetransmission planetary group is now direct.

Torque converter drive is available in the first gearand reverse gear. The lockup clutch provides directdrive once the transmission speed and the enginespeed are matched.

Direct drive is provided in all the higher gears. Thelockup clutch is disengaged during transmissionshifts in order to allow a smooth transition betweengears.

The input speed of the torque converter is measuredat the engine flywheel. This speed is the samespeed as the engine output speed. The outputspeed of the torque converter is measured at theplanetary transmission. This speed is the samespeed as the transmission input speed.

The planetary transmission has seven forwardspeeds and one reverse speed. At lower groundspeeds, FIRST speed uses torque converter drive.At higher ground speeds, FIRST speed uses directdrive. As the ground speed increases in FIRSTspeed the lockup clutch of the torque converterengages. This provides FIRST speed with directdrive. The torque converter is always in direct drivefor speeds SECOND through SEVENTH, but thereis a short period of torque converter drive whenthe clutches engage in the planetary transmission.Only torque converter drive is used when REVERSEspeed is selected. The torque converter lockupclutch is disengaged during transmission shifts inorder to provide smooth shifts. Table 1 shows theclutches that are engaged for each speed.

The planetary transmission consists of two rotatingclutches, five stationary clutches, and five planetaryunits. This provides seven forward speeds and onereverse speed. No. 3 clutch (3) and No. 4 clutch (4)are the rotating clutches.

The planetary transmission is bolted to the torqueconverter housing. Shaft (10) is part of the torqueconverter, and the shaft transmits the torque to theplanetary transmission. Output yoke (9) from theplanetary transmission is bolted to the main driveshaft. The main drive shaft connects the planetarytransmission with the output transfer gear.

Sensor (8) measures the output speed of theplanetary transmission. There are two sensorsin order to provide a backup in the event of afailure. The sensors send information about thetransmission output speed to the ECM (ElectronicControl Module).

Power is transmitted to the output transfer gearsfrom the transmission planetary group via a driveshaft to input shaft (1). The input shaft is splinedto interaxle differential (2) that splits the torquebetween the front and the rear axles. Torque for thefront axle is transmitted from the differential alongshaft (3) to gear (4). An idler gear (5) transfersthis torque to gear (6) in the bottom of the outputtransfer gear case. Gear (6) is splined to the outputyoke (7).

Torque for the rear axles is transmitted from thedifferential along shaft (8) to gear (9). Gear (9) ismeshed with gear (10) which is splined to outputyoke (11).

Torque from the transmission planetary entersthe output transfer gears, and flows directly todifferential housing (4). The torque is transmittedthrough the interaxle differential to output shaft (8)and output shaft (9).

The interaxle differential allows the torque from thetransmission planetary to be divided between thefront axle and the two rear axles.

The front axle receives a smaller proportion of thetorque than the center and rear axles. This preventsexcess torque from being transmitted to the frontaxle.

The distance from the axis of rotation of differentialhousing (4) to the axis of planetary gears (3) isgreater than the distance to the axis of planetarygears (13).

Planetary gears (3) transfer the torque fromdifferential housing (4) to output shaft (9) andplanetary gears (13) transfer the torque fromdifferential housing (4) to output shaft (8).

The torque that is transmitted to output shaft (9) isgreater than the torque that is transmitted to outputshaft (8).

Output shaft (9) transmits the torque to the two rearaxles and output shaft (8) transmits the torque tothe front axle.

The torque that is transmitted to the two rear axlesis greater than the torque that is transmitted to thefront axle. 40% of the torque is transmitted to thefront axle and 60% of the torque is transmitted tothe center and the rear axle.

12Power TrainSystems Operation Section

If the machine was operated on a hard surface withequal traction at each wheel, turning the machinewould cause torsional stresses in the power train.This could reduce the service life of componentsin the power train.

The interaxle differential transmits drive to the frontand rear axles at equal speeds when the machineis travelling straight. The interaxle differential alsotransmits drive to the front and rear axles at differentspeeds when the machine is turning. Torque input ismaintained at each axle throughout each operation.

The interaxle differential responds to the differencein resistance between the front wheels and thecenter and rear wheels. This is carried out ina similar manner to the response of the axledifferentials to the speed difference between theinner wheels and the outer wheels.

The interaxle differential is equipped with a lockupclutch. The lockup clutch is activated by a floormounted switch. The lockup clutch will neutralizenormal interaxle differential operation and transferdrive to all three axles regardless of the groundconditions or the rolling resistance at each wheel.

The interaxle differential consists of an input shaft(1) which is connected to differential housing (4).Differential housing (4) contains two pairs of threeevenly spaced shafts (2). The shafts are used tosupport two planetary gear sets (3) and (13). Bothplanetary gear sets are in constant mesh with eachother and each of the gears is free to rotate aroundshafts (2).

Planetary gear set (3) is in constant mesh with sungear (14) which is installed onto output shaft (9)for the output drive to the trailer. Planetary gear set(13) is in constant mesh with sun gear (12) whichis installed onto output shaft (8) for the output driveto the tractor.

When the machine is moving in a straight directionwith equal ground resistance at each wheel thedifferential housing (4), planetary gears (3) andplanetary gears (13) rotate as a unit.

When the machine is turning, the turning radiuschanges at the front wheels and at the rear wheels.Planetary gears (3) and (13) rotate around shafts(2) as sun gear (14) for the drive to the trailer slowsdown.

If wheel spin occurs at the front of the machine,drive to the center axle and drive to the rear axlewould be reduced to a degree that would stopthe machine. In this event, engaging the interaxledifferential lock would restore drive to all axles.The differential effect is cancelled by locking thedifferential housing to the output shafts.

When the operator engages the differential lock, oilpressure is transmitted by the solenoid and reliefvalve to rotating housing (7). The oil pressure insiderotating housing (7) acts on piston (6) which forcesthe piston against clutch pack (5). Hub (15) anddifferential housing (4) are then connected. Bothplanetary gear sets and both sun gears are lockedin position. The differential effect is cancelled. Shaft(8) and shaft (9) will rotate at the same speed.

When the operator disengages the differential lock,oil pressure is relieved at piston (6). This allowsclutch pack (5) to disengage. Differential housing(4) and hub (15) are disconnected and the interaxledifferential effect is restored.

A differential is an arrangement of gears whichenables one shaft to drive two shafts with equaltorque. The differential also allows the two shafts torotate at different speeds.

The differential in an axle enables drive to bemaintained to both wheels through separate axleshafts when the machine is turning. The wheel onthe inside of the turn will travel a shorter distancethan the wheel on the outside of the turn. Thiscauses the wheel on the inside of the turn to slowdown while the wheel on the outside of the turnspeeds up.

In adverse ground conditions, one or more ofthe wheels may lose traction. The action of thedifferential will result in a loss of drive as thedifferential allows the torque to be transmitted alongthe path of least resistance, which will be the wheelthat is slipping.

The differential in each axle can be locked inadverse conditions. Locking the differential providesdirect drive to all the wheels at the same speedregardless of the resistance due to traction.

14Power TrainSystems Operation Section

A differential divides the power that is sent to themachine wheels. During a turn, the inside wheelturns at a slower rate than the outside wheel. Thedifferential still sends the same amount of torqueto each wheel. Each differential has a differentiallock. The main component of the differential lock isthe clutch pack. When the differential lock switchesare engaged, the clutch pack connects one axleshaft to the differential case. Both axle shafts areconnected in order to form a solid axle with nodifferential effect.

The inside components of the differential receivelubrication from the oil that is inside the axlehousing.

Bevel pinion shaft (1) is in constant mesh with bevelgear (16). The bevel pinion shaft and the bevelgear provide a gear reduction and a change in thedirection of drive by 90�.

Differential case (11) is attached to bevel gear(16). The differential case holds spiders (12). Fourpinion gears (13) are free to rotate around thespiders. Side gears (10) and (15) are mounted inthe differential case. The side gears are meshedwith the pinion gears. Axle shafts (9) and (14) aresplined into the side gears.

When the bevel gear (16) is turned by bevel pinionshaft (1), differential case (11) is also turned. Ifthe resistance between each of the road wheelsis equal, pinion gears (13) will not rotate aroundspiders (12). The pinion gears will turn with thespiders. The pinion gears will turn the side gearswith equal speed and equal torque.

When the machine is turning, the wheel that is onthe inside of the turn will travel a shorter distancethan the wheel on the outside of the turn. Thiscauses the wheel on the inside of the turn to slowdown while the wheel on the outside of the turnspeeds up.

The axle shaft on the inside of the turn and the sidegears on the inside of the turn slow down. Thiscauses the pinion gears to rotate on the spiders.

The wheel, the axle shaft and the side gear onthe inside will slow down as the machine turns.The wheel, the axle shaft and the side gear on theoutside will speed up in proportion to the insidewheel. The differential between the speed of thetwo wheels is taken up by the rotation of the bevelgears around the spiders. Both wheels are drivenwith equal force, but at different speeds.

When one wheel has more traction than the otherwheel, the torque travels by the path of leastresistance to the wheel that has less traction. Thewheel with less traction will spin and the wheelthat has traction will be stationary. In this condition,the machine will lose drive. A differential lock isprovided in order to prevent loss of drive in adverseconditions.

Differential Lock Operation

The axle differential lock should be engaged whenthe machine is being operated on a loose surfaceor a soft surface. The axle differential lock shouldalso be engaged if wheel spin is experienced andadditional traction is required. Damage can occur todrive line components through a buildup of torsionalstress, if operating the machine on a hard surfacewith the axle differential lock engaged. The machineshould only be driven in a straight line when theaxle differential lock is engaged.

When the differential lock switches are operated,oil pressure is transmitted through oil supply tube(2) into chamber (3). Piston (4) is offset againstpressure plate (5) which forces rotating plates (6)and friction discs (7) together, locking axle shaft (9)to hub assembly (8). This prevents side gear (10)from rotating inside differential case (11). Piniongears (13) stop revolving and this causes side gear(15) and axle shaft (14) to lock. Both axle shaftsnow rotate at the same speed as the bevel gearand differential case.

The second system supplies oil to the outputtransfer gear, the interaxle differential lock and thethree axle differential locks.

Torque Converter and Transmission

g00809226Illustration 14

The transmission hydraulic control system providespressurized oil to the clutches of the transmissionplanetary. , Pressurized oil is also supplied to thetorque converter and to the torque converter lockupclutch.

Oil from the sump (1) of the torque converter isdrawn through suction screen (2) by oil pump (3).

Oil from the pump is supplied through oil filter (4)to downshift solenoid (5) and upshift solenoid (6).Oil is also supplied to selector and pressure controlvalve (13). Downshift solenoid (5) and upshiftsolenoid (6) control the flow of pressurized oil torotary actuator (7). Rotary actuator (7) determinesthe position of selector spool (12) in selector andpressure control valve (13).

Selector spool (12) in selector and pressure controlvalve (13) allows pilot oil to flow to individual valves(8) on pressure control valve (9). The position of theselector spool determines the path of the pilot oilto the individual valves.

Each individual valve is a modulating valve whichcontrols the pressure of the oil that is supplied tothe clutches in the transmission planetary.

Oil from the selector and pressure control valve alsosupplies the torque converter. The oil that is usedby the torque converter is then sent through thetransmission oil cooler and back to the transmissionas lubricant.

The transmission oil filter is located on the right sideof the engine.

The oil enters oil filter base (20) through cavity (22).The oil flows from cavity (22) through filter element(21) into cavity (24) and out of the filter base.

If there is a restriction in the filter element the oilpressure in the filter increases. The increased oilpressure shifts spool (23) to the right against spring(25). When the spool is moved to the right, oil flowsdirectly from cavity (22) to cavity (24). The oil filterelement is now bypassed.

Transmission Oil Cooler

The oil cooler for the transmission is located on theright side of the engine below the oil cooler for thebrake system.

Oil from the torque converter is sent to the oil coolerand the oil is cooled by engine coolant. Oil from theoil cooler is then used to lubricate the transmission,the pump drive group and the accessory drivegroup.

Output Transfer Gears andDifferentials

g00807200Illustration 20

A second hydraulic circuit supplies lubrication forthe output transfer gears. The circuit also controlsthe interaxle differential and the axle differentials.

Oil from the sump of the output transfer gears (30)is drawn by charging and scavenging pump (26)through magnetic screen (32) in order to removeany metallic particles that may be present in theoil. The charging and scavenging pump chargesthe output transfer gears and the differential locks.The charging and scavenging pump for the outputtransfer gears and the differential locks is mountedon the top of the flywheel housing to the left of theengine.

The oil from the charging and scavenging pumpis fed via filter (27) to solenoid and relief valve(28) that is mounted on the output transfer gearcase. The solenoid and relief valve controls thelock for interaxle differential (29) and the locks forthe axle differentials. The solenoid and relief valvealso provides lubrication oil for the output transfergear (30).

Operation of the solenoid and relief valve appliesoil pressure to the lockup clutch in the interaxledifferential in order to engage the interaxledifferential lock. Within the solenoid and relief valve,a second solenoid valve controls the axle differentiallocks (31) in the three axles. The circuit allows theaxle differential locks to be engaged only when theinteraxle differential lock is engaged.

Engagement of the axle differential locks is achievedwhen the solenoid valve allows pressurized oil fromthe solenoid and relief valve to fill the clutcheson the differentials in each axle. When the axledifferential lock is unselected, the oil in the clutchesof the axle differentials is able to drain to the topof the output transfer gear case as additionallubrication.

The oil enters the output transfer gear case at thetop. The oil drains down to the sump of the outputtransfer gear case and the oil provides lubricationto the gears and the bearings.

Control of the torque converter and the planetarytransmission is achieved by a selector and pressurecontrol valve that controls the supply of pressurizedoil to the pressure control valve. The pressurecontrol valve contains individual valves that controlthe oil pressure in each clutch and the oil pressurein the torque converter lockup clutch.

Oil is supplied by pump (1) through oil filter (2). Thepressurized oil is available to downshift solenoid(3), upshift solenoid (4) and torque converter lockupclutch solenoid (9). Pressurized oil is also suppliedto selector and pressure control valve (13).

Selector and pressure control valve (13) regulatesthe oil pressure. The selector and pressure controlvalve sends pressurized oil to pressure control valve(7) for clutch actuation. The selector and pressurecontrol valve also provides the pilot signal to theindividual valves (6) in the pressure control valve.

The selector and pressure control valve alsosupplies oil to the torque converter. The maximumpressure of the oil to the torque converter isregulated by relief valve (11) in the selector andpressure control valve.

Rotary actuator (5) is controlled by downshiftsolenoid (3) and upshift solenoid (4). The rotaryactuator turns selector spool (10) in the selectorand pressure control valve. The selector spooldetermines the path of the pilot oil to the individualvalves.

When the machine is in NEUTRAL, the downshiftsolenoid is selected. This ensures that the rotaryactuator holds the selector spool in the correctposition. The selector and pressure control valveincludes a neutralizer valve. Neutralizer valve (12)prevents pressurized oil from being supplied to theselector spool unless the engine is started with thetransmission control in the NEUTRAL position.

When the operator selects drive, the ECM for thepower train closes downshift solenoid (3) and opensupshift solenoid (4). The upshift solenoid suppliespressurized oil to the rotary actuator. This causesthe rotary actuator to rotate. This turns the selectorspool in the selector and pressure control valve.Pilot oil is directed by the selector spool to theindividual valves for clutch 2 and clutch 6.

Solenoid valve (9) for the torque converter lockupclutch is closed. This allows torque converter driveas the machine accelerates. As the machine speedmatches the engine speed, the ECM for the powertrain sends an electrical signal to the solenoid valvefor the torque converter lockup clutch. This allowsa pilot oil supply to the modulating valve (8) forthe torque converter lockup clutch. This causesthe torque converter lockup clutch to engagedirect drive between the engine and the planetarytransmission.

The ECM reads the information from the engineoutput speed sensor and from the transmissionoutput speed sensor. The ECM shifts thetransmission at predetermined speeds.

Seven hydraulically activated clutches intransmission (14) provide seven forward speedsand one reverse speed. Speed selections anddirection selections are made manually by usingtransmission control (10).

The power train electronic control systemelectronically controls the shifting of thetransmission. In order for the transmission to beshifted to the desired speed and the desireddirection, the ECM (5) receives the operator inputfrom transmission control (10). The ECM sends asignal to downshift solenoid (7) or upshift solenoid(8). The downshift solenoid and the upshift solenoidturn the rotary actuator which turns the selectorspool in the selector and pressure control valve.The modulating valves in the pressure control valvemodulate the oil pressure of the clutches that areselected.

A modulating valve is also used to control oilpressure to the torque converter lockup clutch. Pilotoil is supplied to the modulating valve for the torqueconverter lockup clutch by torque converter lockupclutch solenoid (6). The torque converter lockupclutch provides direct drive between the engine andthe transmission planetary.

The power train ECM uses input signals fromthe following components to ensure correctengagement of the clutches: engine speed sensor(12) and transmission output speed sensors (15).

The power train ECM also controls the followingfunctions: interaxle differential lock, axle differentiallocks, hoist control, and secondary steering system.

Systems Operation Section

Electronic Control Module

The electronic control module (ECM) is located atthe right rear side of the cab. The ECM controlsthe shifting of the transmission. The transmissioncontrol sends the operator input to the ECM. Theoperator input indicates the desired speed forthe transmission and the desired direction for thetransmission. The ECM makes decisions that arebased on the input information and on the memoryinformation. After the ECM receives the inputinformation and the memory information, the ECMsends a corresponding response to the outputs.The inputs and the outputs are connected to themachine harness by two 40-pin connectors.

Inputs

The machine has several input devices. Inputdevices inform the ECM of the operating conditionsof the machine. The machine has two types ofinputs, switch inputs and sensor inputs. The switchinputs of the ECM are provided with the followingsignals from the switches: an open, a ground, anda +battery. Sensors provide a constantly changingsignal to the ECM.

Outputs

The ECM responds to decisions by sendingelectrical signals through the outputs. The outputscan create an action or the outputs can provideinformation to the ECM.

Input/Output

The CAT Data Link is used to communicate with theother electronic control modules on the machine.The CAT Data Link is bidirectional. The CAT DataLink allows the sharing of information with otherelectronic controls.

• The ECM receives the harness code input fromthe Caterpillar Monitoring System.

• The ECM sends the following information to theCaterpillar Monitoring System: engine speed,machine ground speed, parking brake switchstatus, transmission speed selection, and servicecode of the transmission.

• The monitoring system displays this informationfor the operator or for service personnel.

• The ECM communicates with the engine ECM inorder to allow controlled throttle shifting.

Sensors In The Power Train

Sensors provide information to the power trainelectronic control module (ECM) about changingconditions. The sensor signal changes proportionallyto the changing conditions. The following type ofsensor signals are recognized by the power trainECM.

• Frequency signals: The frequency (Hz) of thesensor signal varies as the condition changes.

Transmission Gear Sensor

g00616555Illustration 23

Transmission Gear Sensor

The transmission gear sensor is an input to thePower Train ECM. The sensor tells the ECM theposition of the rotary actuator and the selectorspool. The sensor is connected mechanically to therotary actuator of the transmission.

Speed Sensors (Engine Output andTransmission Output)

g00288428Illustration 24

Typical Speed Sensor

There are two transmission output speed sensorsand one engine output speed sensor on themachine. The speed sensors are inputs of theECM. These speed sensors are frequency sensors.Frequency sensors produce a signal (Hz) whichvaries as the condition changes. The sensorgenerates a sine wave signal from the gear teethas the gear teeth pass the sensor. The sensorproduces a signal that equals one pulse per geartooth. This signal is sent to the ECM. The ECMmeasures the frequency of the signal in order todetermine the speed of the condition. The ECMreceives signals from the speed sensors. The ECMuses the input from the speed sensors in orderto determine the speed of the system. The ECMuses the input from the speed sensors in order toregulate transmission shifts. Each speed sensor hastwo connections to the ECM (+ and −).

For all of the speed sensors, connector contact2 is the signal line and connector contact 1 isthe return line. Two transmission speed sensorsmeasure transmission output speed in order toprovide protection against failure.

Note: The speed sensors are used to diagnoseeach other during normal operation. The ECMperiodically checks the value from the speedsensor. If an incorrect value is found, the ECM willlog a service code that indicates a fault for a speedsensor circuit.

The base of the oil filter contains abypass valve in order to allow the oil to continue tothe output transfer gears in the event of a blockagein the oil filter. A switch notifies the operator in theevent of a blockage in the oil filter.

Solenoid and Relief Valve

Oil from the oil filter is then fed to solenoid and reliefvalve (3) that is mounted on the case of the outputtransfer gears.

The solenoid and relief valve provides oil to theoutput transfer gears and the differential locks.

The solenoid and relief valve incorporates twosolenoid valves, a priority valve and a relief valve.

One solenoid in the solenoid and relief valvecontrols the oil to the interaxle differential lock andthe oil to the solenoid valve for the axle differentiallocks.

A second solenoid controls the oil to the axledifferential locks.

The priority valve gives priority to the oil supplyfor the differential locks over the oil supply to theoutput transfer gears.

The relief valve regulates the maximum pressure inthe output transfer gears and the differential locksystem.

Pressure control valve (1) has seven modulationreduction valves (2) for the transmission planetaryand one modulation reduction valve (3) for thetorque converter lockup clutch. There is onemodulation reduction valve for each clutch in thetransmission planetary. Each modulation reductionvalve acts separately. This is known as IndividualClutch Modulation (ICM). The modulation reductionvalves control the amount of pressure that will beused for clutch engagement and for the release ofthe clutch. The modulation reduction valves alsodetermine the duration of clutch engagement.

Each load piston body (4) has an identification letterfor the purposes of disassembly and assembly.Pilot passages (5) are connected to passagesfrom the rotary selector spool of the selector andpressure control valve. Pump oil from the selectorand pressure control valve is in passage (6). Drainpassages (7) are connected to the transmissioncase reservoir.

All of the modulation reduction valves operate in asimilar way, so only the basic operation is provided.

When a shift is started, pilot passage (5) receivespilot oil at the correct sequence from the rotaryselector spool. Selector piston (8) and loadpiston (9) move against the force of springs (10).Modulation reduction valve (11) moves againstthe force of spring (12). Passage (13) is blockedto drain passage (14). Passage (13) is open topassage (6). The pump oil now begins to fill theclutch. The pressure of the oil that is filling the clutchis balanced against the force of springs (10) as thesprings are compressed by the selector piston. Thisis the primary pressure for the clutch. The primarypressure helps to fill the clutch smoothly in order toavoid harsh transmission shifts.

As the oil flows to passage (13), oil is able to flowthrough load piston orifice (15) and passage (16).

Systems Operation Section

After the clutch is full of oil, the pressure of thepump oil in the selected clutch increases. Thepressure of the oil that is flowing through the loadpiston orifice increases. This oil goes betweenselector piston (8) and load piston (9). The oilmoves the load piston against springs (10). Thisfurther increases the compression of the springs.As the springs are compressed, the force of thesprings is increased. The pressure of the oil in theclutch is balanced against the force of springs (10).This allows an increase in the oil pressure in theclutch. Clutch oil flows through an orifice in themodulation reduction valve (11). Ball check valve(17) opens and oil flows into the slug chamber atthe left end of the modulation reduction valve.

The pressure in the clutch is now at the maximum.Modulation reduction valve (11) moves to the rightand to the left in order to maintain a constantpressure in passage (13).

The amount of time that is necessary for themaximum pressure in the clutch to be reached isdependent on the size of load piston orifice (15) andthe force of springs (10). The force of springs (10)can be adjusted by using shims in load piston (9).

The force of springs (10) moves loadpiston (9) fully to the right against selector piston (8).

Modulation reduction valve (11) is moved fully tothe right by the force of spring (12). In this position,pump oil in passage (6) cannot flow into passage(13). Passage (6) is open to drain passage (14) andthe pressure in the clutch is released.

Torque Converter Lockup Clutch

g00799196Illustration 33

The operation of the modulating valve for the torqueconverter lockup clutch is identical to the operationof the modulating valves for the clutches in thetransmission planetary. Pilot oil is supplied by thetransmission oil pump. The pilot oil is controlled bythe torque converter lockup solenoid.

The torque converter lockup solenoid is locatedalongside the downshift solenoid and the upshiftsolenoid.

The modulating valve for the torque converterlockup clutch is mounted on the transmissionpressure control valve.

The Power Train Electronic Control Module (PowerTrain ECM) will energize the torque converter lockupclutch solenoid when direct drive is necessary.During direct drive, the engine is mechanicallyconnected to the transmission by the activation ofthe lockup clutch.

When direct drive is not necessary, the torqueconverter lockup clutch solenoid is deactivated. Thepilot oil supply to the modulating valve for the torqueconverter lockup clutch is cut off. The machine willthen be in torque converter drive. The engine willbe hydraulically connected to the transmission.

Engaging the Lockup Clutch

When the Power Train ECM activates the lockupclutch solenoid, pilot oil from the transmission pumpis allowed to flow into pilot oil passage (21).

As pilot oil flows into the pilot oil passage, selectorpiston (22) and load piston (23) are moved to theright against the force of spring (24). Drain passage(25) is blocked. Spring (24) pushes modulationreduction valve (26) against the force of spring(27). As modulation reduction valve (26) movesto the right, drain passage (28) is blocked, andpressurized oil is allowed to flow from passage (6) topassage (29) to the torque converter lockup clutch.

Oil in passage (29) also flows through load pistonorifice (30). This oil goes between selector piston(22) and load piston (23). This moves load piston(23) further to the right.

Page 36: 269630396 Systems Operation Testing and Adjusting CAT 740 Articulated

36Power TrainSystems Operation Section

The pressure of the clutch oil in passage (29)increases after the clutch is full of oil. Some of theoil from passage (29) goes through orifice (31) inmodulation reduction valve (26). This oil opensball check valve (32). The oil then goes into slugchamber (33). This pressure helps the springs pushboth modulation reduction valve (26) and loadpiston (23) back to the left. The oil that is flowingthrough load piston orifice (30) is delivered at a fixedrate. While load piston (3) is controlled by the oilfrom load piston orifice (30), modulation reductionvalve (26) moves up and down. This causes thepressure in the lockup clutch to increase gradually.This gradual increase due to the movement ofthe spool is called modulation. The modulationof modulation reduction valve (26) maintains aconstant pressure in passage (29). When loadpiston (23) goes fully against the stop, modulationstops. The pressure in the lockup clutch is now atthe maximum. The lockup clutch is fully engaged.

The amount of time that is necessary for themaximum pressure in the lockup clutch to bereached is dependent on the size of load pistonorifice (30) and the force of spring (24). The forceof spring (24) can be adjusted by using shims inload piston (23).

Releasing the Lockup Clutch

When pilot oil passage (21) does not receive pilotoil, the force of spring (24) moves selector piston(22) to the left against load piston body (34). Thisuncovers drain passage (25). Oil between selectorpiston (22) and load piston (23) drains throughdrain passage (25).

Passage (35) is now aligned with drain passage(25). The force of spring (24) moves load piston(23) fully against selector piston (22). Modulationreduction valve (26) moves up to the fullest extentas a result of the force of spring (24). In this position,pump oil in passage (6) cannot go into passage(29). Passage (29) is now open to drain passage(28). The pressure in the lockup clutch is released.

Note: Drain passages (25), (28), (19), (14), and (27)are connected. The return oil goes into the torqueconverter sump.

Torqueconverter inletrelief valve (11)

This valve controls the maximum inletoil pressure to the torque converter.

Priority Reduction Valve

At the selector and pressure control valve, the oilfrom the transmission oil pump flows to severallocations. The oil flows through passage (1) topriority reduction valve (2). The oil flows through anorifice in the priority reduction valve. This oil opensa check valve. The oil then flows to the upper endof priority reduction valve (2).

As the oil pressure increases, the priority reductionvalve is moved downward against the force of thespring. The pressure of the oil that is flowing frompriority reduction valve (2) to neutralizer valve (3) iscontrolled by the priority reduction valve.

As priority reduction valve (2) moves downward,pump oil in passage (1) is able to flow throughthrough passage (13). Some of this oil flows to reliefvalve (12). Relief valve (12) controls the maximumpressure in passages (1), (13), and (8). Some ofthe oil from passage (13) flows through passage(8) to the pressure control valve. This oil is usedto fill the clutches in the transmission. Some of theoil from passage (13) also flows to rotary selectorspool (4). This oil activates neutralizer valve (3).When the rotary selector spool is in the NEUTRALposition, oil is able to flow to chamber (14). Thiscauses neutralizer valve (3) to move downward.When neutralizer valve (3) is moved downward, theoil flows into chamber (5) of rotary selector spool(4). Chamber (5) has a screen that filters the oil.This oil is able to flow to the pressure control valve.This pressure oil is the pilot oil that controls themovement of the selector pistons in the pressurecontrol valve.

Neutralizer Valve

Neutralizer valve (3) will not allow movement of themachine if the engine is started and rotary selectorspool (4) is not in the NEUTRAL position.

When the engine is started and the transmission isin NEUTRAL, pressure oil from passage (13) flowsto rotary selector spool (4). The pressure oil thenflows to chamber (14). The pressure in chamber(14) moves neutralizer valve (3) downward againstthe force of the spring. This allows pilot oil to goaround the neutralizer valve to chamber (5) of therotary selector spool. The clutches can be engagedin the transmission.

As neutralizer valve (3) moves downward, pilot oilis able to flow through an orifice in the neutralizervalve to the upper end of the neutralizer valve.Neutralizer valve (3) is now held in the open positionby the pressure of the pilot oil.

When rotary selector spool (4) is moved from theNEUTRAL position, pressure oil from passage (13)cannot go to chamber (14). Chamber (14) is nowopen to chamber (6) because of the position ofrotary selector spool (4).

When the machine is not in NEUTRAL and theengine is started, the position of rotary selectorspool (4) stops the flow of pump oil to chamber(14). Neutralizer valve (3) will not move downward inorder to provide oil to chamber (5). No oil can flowto the selector pistons of the pressure control valve.The clutches in the transmission will not engage.

Rotary Selector Spool

Rotary selector spool (4) determines the selectorpistons in the pressure control valve that receivepilot oil and the selector pistons that are drained.Orifices in the spool provide the correct sequence inorder for the clutches to engage. A rotary actuatoris mechanically connected to the upper end ofthe rotary selector spool. The rotary actuator ishydraulically controlled by the upshift solenoid andthe downshift solenoid. The rotary actuator turnsrotary selector spool (4). The transmission gearswitch is also connected to the upper end of thespool.

Systems Operation Section

Chamber (5) of rotary selector spool (4) containspilot oil. The position of the spool will send this pilotoil through a passage to the pressure control valve.The oil flows to a selector piston. This causes theselector piston to move. This will cause a clutchto engage in the transmission. Chamber (5) has ascreen which stops foreign material from enteringthe pressure control valve.

The clutches of the transmission that aredisengaged return any pressure oil that is in theselector pistons to chamber (6). Chamber (6) allowsthe oil to go to the transmission case reservoir.

In the NEUTRAL position, rotary selector spool (4)sends pump oil to chamber (14) in order to moveneutralizer valve (3). In the other speed positions,chamber (14) is blocked from pump oil and opento chamber (6).

Relief Valve

Relief valve (12) controls the maximum pressure inthe transmission hydraulic system. Pump oil comesfrom passage (13) to relief valve (12). The oil flowsthrough an orifice in the relief valve. This opens apoppet valve. Oil fills the chamber between thepoppet and the slug. As the pressure increases, theoil moves relief valve (12) upward against the forceof the spring. When the pressure of the oil reachesthe relief pressure, relief valve (12) allows oil to flowthrough passage (10) to the torque converter.

The pressure setting of relief valve (12) can bechanged by the removal or the addition of shimsinside the spool of the relief valve.

Torque Converter Inlet Relief Valve

Torque converter inlet relief valve (11) controls themaximum oil pressure that is going into the torqueconverter. Oil that flows past relief valve (12) willthen flow to the torque converter. If the pressure ofthe oil reaches the relief pressure, torque converterinlet relief valve (11) will open. The oil will flow tothe transmission case reservoir until the pressure isreduced to less than the maximum pressure that isrequired for the torque converter.

Rotary Actuator(Transmission)SMCS Code: 3166

g00802458Illustration 35

The rotary actuator is controlled by downshiftsolenoid (1) and upshift solenoid (2). Pressure oilfrom either solenoid flows into chamber (3). Thepressure oil presses against stationary vane (12)and against rotary vane (14) of rotor (15). Thispressure oil causes the rotor to turn. Rotor (15) ismechanically connected to the rotary selector spool.The rotary selector spool is part of the selector andpressure control valve. Rotor (15) turns the rotaryselector spool.

During an upshift, pressure oil from the upshiftsolenoid flows through passage (9). This causesupshift valve (10) to move to the left. Drain passage(11) is now closed by the upshift valve. The pressureoil flows into upshift valve (10). This moves ball (8)to the left and oil flows into chamber (13) betweenstationary vane (12) and rotary vane (14). Thiscauses rotor (15) to turn in a clockwise direction.

The oil that is in chamber (3) on the opposite sideof rotary vane (14) presses against downshift valve(4). This causes ball (7) to move to the right side.Oil is then blocked from flowing through passage(6). As the rotor turns, the oil in chamber (3) pushesdownshift valve (4) to the right until the valve opensdrain passage (5). The oil that is in chamber (3) isnow able to drain.

When the rotary selector spool and rotor (15)achieve the correct speed position, the transmissiongear switch that is connected to the rotary selectorspool sends an electrical signal to the Power TrainElectronic Control Module (Power Train ECM). ThePower Train ECM closes the upshift solenoid. Thisstops the flow of pressure oil in passage (9). Themovement of rotor (15) then stops.

During a downshift, pressure oil from the downshiftsolenoid flows through passage (6). Downshift valve(4) is moved to the left. This closes drain passage(5). The pressure oil from passage (6) goes intodownshift valve (4). The pressure oil moves ball (7)to the left and oil flows into chamber (3). This causesrotor (15) to turn in a counterclockwise direction.

Systems Operation Section

The oil that is in chamber (13) presses againstupshift valve (10). This causes ball (8) to move tothe right. This stops oil from going through passage(9). As the rotor turns, the oil in chamber (13)pushes the upshift valve to the right until drainpassage (11) is open to chamber (13).

When the rotor achieves the correct speed position,the Power Train ECM deactivates the downshiftsolenoid. Pressure oil in passage (6) is stopped.This stops the movement of rotor (15).

When the transmission is in the NEUTRAL position,rotor (15) is in the position that is shown. Thedownshift solenoid is always activated in theNEUTRAL position so that the rotor is locked inposition.

Transmission Hydraulic ControlSystem

Main Relief Pressure

Oil is supplied by the transmission oil pump that ismounted on the torque converter housing.

The oil from the pump passes through thetransmission oil filter that is mounted on the rightside of the engine.

The pressure of the oil that is supplied by thetransmission oil pump is controlled by the main reliefvalve that is located in the transmission selectorand pressure control valve.

Test the pressure of the oil from the transmissionoil pump. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing andAdjusting, “Power Train Pressures”. If the pressureof the oil from the transmission oil pump is lowerthan the specification at both low idle and at highidle, there may be a failure of the transmission oilpump. Alternatively, there may be damage to one ormore of the seals in the transmission clutches. Testthe individual clutches. Refer to Systems Operation,Testing and Adjusting, “Power Train Pressures”.

The transmission oil pump cannot be serviced. It isnecessary to replace the transmission oil pump.

If the pressure of the oil from the transmission oilpump is too low at low idle but correct at high idle,the setting of the relief valve may be too low.

If the pressure of the oil from the transmission oilpump is too high, the setting of the relief valve istoo high.

g00804541Illustration 79

Adjustment of relief valve (1) is achieved by theaddition or removal of spacers (2).

The addition of spacers will increase the settingof the relief valve. The removal of spacers willdecrease the setting of the relief valve. Refer toTable 10 for the correct selection of spacers.

5. Use a 9S-1721 Extension (1/4 inch squaredrive) and a 9U-6635 Reversible Ratchet to turnthe transmission rotary selector spool. When theratchet is fully turned in a clockwise direction,the rotary selector spool is in the NEUTRALposition. The order of the detent positions isNEUTRAL, REVERSE, REVERSE 1, and FIRSTspeed through SEVENTH speed.

Note: Detent position REVERSE is not used in thisapplication.

Note: There is approximately 30 degrees of rotationbetween each detent of the rotary selector spool.

6. Rotate the selector spool to the FIRST speedposition.

7. Lower the cab and start the engine. Ensure thatthe service brakes are engaged.

8. Correct operation of the neutralizer valve willprevent the engagement of the clutches forFIRST speed regardless of the position of theselector spool.

9. Stop the engine and raise the cab.

10. Return the selector spool to the NEUTRALposition and replace the wiring harness to theupshift and downshift solenoids and from thetorque converter lockup clutch solenoid.

11. Replace the plug for the selector spool.

Torque Converter

The Torque converter is supplied with oil on twolevels. The torque converter is supplied with oil inorder to allow the transfer of power through thetorque converter. A separate circuit exists for thecontrol of the lockup function of the torque converterin order to provide direct drive from the engine tothe transmission.

Torque Converter Inlet Relief PressureTesting and Adjusting

g00808310Illustration 82

The oil for the torque converter is supplied by thetransmission selector and pressure control valve.The pressure of this oil is regulated by the torqueconverter inlet relief valve (6).

Test the inlet relief pressure for the torque converter.Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting,“Power Train Pressures”. If the inlet relief pressurefor the torque converter is incorrect , bench testthe torque converter inlet relief valve. If the settingof the torque converter inlet relief valve is incorrect,5M-9622 Shims can be added or removed frombehind the spring in the relief valve.

If the setting of the torque converter inlet relief valveis correct, but the pressure of the oil in the torqueconverter is lower than the specification, there maybe an incorrect supply of oil to the torque converterinlet relief valve. Test the setting of the main reliefvalve for the transmission hydraulic control system.

If the supply of oil to the torque converter inletrelief valve is satisfactory, there may be a problemwith the torque converter that allows oil to be lost.Remove the torque converter from the machine andinvestigate possible damage. Refer to Disassemblyand Assembly, RENR5139, “Power Train”.

Torque Converter Lockup Clutch

The torque converter lockup clutch is controlled bya modulating valve that is mounted on the pressurecontrol valve for the transmission.

The correct pressure for the torque converter lockupclutch is dependent upon the correct adjustmentand the correct operation of the modulating valvefor the torque converter lockup clutch.

The modulating valve for the torque converterlockup clutch is controlled by a pilot oil supply thatis controlled by the torque converter lockup clutchsolenoid.

To test the function of the solenoid valve for thetorque converter lockup clutch, test the pressureof the pilot oil from the solenoid valve. Refer toSystems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “PowerTrain Pressures”. If the pressure of the pilot oilfrom the torque converter lockup clutch solenoid isoutside the specifications, there may be a fault withthe supply of oil to the solenoid.

Measure the main relief pressure for the transmissionhydraulic control.

If the main relief pressure for the transmissionhydraulic control is correct, there is a problem withthe torque converter lockup clutch solenoid.

Testing the Torque Converter Lockup ClutchSolenoid

1. Ensure that the machine is parked on a levelsurface and that the parking brake control isengaged.

2. Move the key start switch to the ON position. Donot start the engine.

3. Raise the cab.

4. Disconnect the wires from the upshift solenoid,the downshift solenoid and the torque converterlockup clutch solenoid.

5. Connect the harness from the downshift solenoidto the torque converter lockup clutch solenoid.

6. Use a tag wire to check that the solenoid coilis energized. If the tag wire is attracted to thesolenoid coil, this indicates that the solenoid coilis energized. If the tag wire does not indicatethat the solenoid coil is energized, the problemmay be in the electrical circuit.

7. If the solenoid does not appear to function,disconnect the connector for the solenoid valve.Check the resistance of the windings of the coilin the solenoid.

The resistance of the windings in the solenoidshould be 32.6 ± 1.6.

If the resistance of the windings is outside thespecifications replace the solenoid.

If the solenoid coil is energized, the problem maylie with the solenoid cartridge. The problem couldbe a bent solenoid stem, a spring that is weak orbroken, or a screen that is dirty or plugged.

If the torque converter lockup clutch solenoid isfunctioning correctly and the pilot oil supply to themodulating valve is correct, there is a problemwith the modulating valve for the torque converterlockup clutch.

Testing and Adjusting of the Modulating Valve forthe Torque Converter Lockup Clutch

The following tests are required in order todetermine the correct function of the modulatingvalve for the torque converter lockup clutch:

• Maximum pressure in the torque converter lockupclutch

• Initial pressure in the torque converter lockupclutch

• Correct Pressure decay in the clutch

Test the maximum pressure of the oil in thetorque converter lockup clutch. Refer to SystemsOperation, Testing and Adjusting, “Power TrainPressures”.

If there is no pressure in the torque converterlockup clutch, there may be a problem with thepilot supply to the modulating valve for the torqueconverter lockup clutch. Test the function of thetorque converter lockup clutch solenoid.

If the solenoid is functioning correctly and thepilot supply to the modulating valve is within thespecifications, load piston (8) or selector piston (9)may be sticking, or load piston spring (10) may beweak or broken. Remove the modulating valve andinspect the modulating valve for damage. Refer toDisassembly and Assembly, RENR5139, “PowerTrain”.

If the pressure in the torque converter lockup clutchis lower than the specification, there are a numberof possible causes.

• The initial pressure for the torque converterlockup clutch may be incorrect.

• Load piston plug (11) may not be installed.

• Load piston orifice (12) may be blocked.

• Load piston (8) may be sticking within selectorpiston (9).

• Load piston spring (10) may be broken or weak.

While the cover of the transmission is removed,check that load piston plug (11) is installed correctly.

If the initial pressure is correct and the loadpiston plug is installed correctly, the load pistonorifice could be blocked. it will be necessary toremove the modulating valve in order to inspect theinternal components for damage or for blockages.Disassembly and Assembly, RENR5139, “PowerTrain”

Testing and Adjusting the Initial Pressure for theTorque Converter Lockup Clutch

The problems that are listed above may alsocontribute to providing an incorrect initial pressure.

If the initial pressure is too low, the load pistonspring or the setting of the modulating valve maybe incorrect.

g00811113Illustration 84

If the initial pressure is too high, it is probable thatthere is an incorrect load piston spring, or that thesetting of the modulating valve is incorrect.

Remove the modulating valve and inspect thespring. Measure the rate of the spring. Refer toSpecifications, RENR5133, “Power Train”.

If the rate of the spring is correct, shims (13) mustbe added or removed from behind the load pistonspring. Refer to Table 12 for the correct shims touse in order to adjust the initial pressure setting ofthe modulating valve.

7. Observe the gauges. The gauge for thetransmission oil pump pressure and for downshiftsolenoid (16) must read the same value. Thegauge for upshift solenoid (15) must read 0 kPa(0 psi).

If the gauge for the downshift solenoid doesnot read the same value as the gauge for thepressure at the transmission oil pump, there is afault with the downshift solenoid valve.

If the gauge for the upshift solenoid is readingthe same value as the gauge for the transmissionoil pump pressure, then there is a fault with theupshift solenoid valve.

8. If the solenoid does not appear to function,disconnect the connector for the solenoid valve.Check the resistance of the windings of the coilin the solenoid.

The resistance of the windings in the solenoidshould be 32.6 ± 1.6.

If the resistance of the windings is outside thespecifications replace the solenoid.

9. Stop the engine and raise the cab.

10. With the key start switch in the ON position, usea tag wire to check that the solenoid coil of thedownshift solenoid is energized. If the tag wire isattracted to the solenoid coil, this indicates thatthe solenoid coil is energized. If the tag wire doesnot indicate that the solenoid coil is energized,the problem may be in the electrical circuit.

11. Connect the wiring for the upshift solenoid to thedownshift solenoid and connect the wiring for thedownshift solenoid to the upshift solenoid.

12. Lower the cab. Take care to ensure that thehose assemblies are not trapped when the cabis lowered.

Testing and Adjusting the IndividualValves for Clutch Engagement

The correct engagement of the clutches inthe transmission planetary is dependent uponthe correct operation and adjustment of theindividual valve in the pressure control valve of thetransmission hydraulic control system.

Clutch engagement is dependent upon two factors,the supply of pilot oil to the individual valves in thepressure control valve and the supply of pressurizedoil for clutch engagement.

The supply of pilot oil to the individual valves iscontrolled by the selector spool in the selector andpressure control valve.

The following tests are required in order todetermine the correct function of the individualvalves for the transmission clutches:

• Maximum pressure in the transmission clutches

• Initial pressure in the transmission clutches

• Pilot pressure to the individual valves

Test the maximum pressure of the oil in thetransmission clutches. Refer to Systems Operation,Testing and Adjusting, “Power Train Pressures”.

If there is no pressure in the transmission clutches,there may be a problem with the pilot supply to thepressure control valve.

Testing the Pilot Supply for TransmissionClutches

Test the pressure of the pilot supply to the individualvalves. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing andAdjusting, “Power Train Pressures”.

If there is no pilot supply pressure to the individualvalves, the neutralizer valve may not be functioningcorrectly. Test the function of the neutralizer valve. Ifthe neutralizer valve is functioning correctly, theremay be a problem with the downshift solenoid orthe upshift solenoid.

If the neutralizer valve, the upshift solenoid and thedownshift solenoid are functioning correctly, theremay be a blockage in the screen that is inside theselector spool.

g00810977Illustration 86

Remove the selector spool and clean the screen.

If the pilot supply to the individual valves is withinthe specifications, load piston (17) or selectorpiston (18) may be sticking, or load piston spring(19) may be weak or broken. Remove the individualvalve and inspect the components for damage.Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, RENR5139,“Power Train”.

If the pressure in the transmission clutch is lowerthan the specification, there are a number ofpossible causes.

• The initial pressure for the transmission clutchesmay be incorrect.

• Load piston plug (20) may not be installed.

• Load piston orifice (21) may be blocked.

• Load piston (17) may be sticking within selectorpiston (18).

• Load piston spring (19) may be broken or weak.

If problems occur with the engagement oftransmission clutches, it is first necessary to testthe primary pressures in the clutches. Refer toSystems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “PowerTrain Pressures”.

If the initial pressures are correct and the loadpiston plugs are installed correctly, the load pistonorifice could be blocked. it will be necessary toremove the modulating valve in order to inspect theinternal components for damage or for blockages.Disassembly and Assembly, RENR5139, “PowerTrain”

Testing and Adjusting the Initial Pressure For TheTransmission Clutches

The problems that are listed above may alsocontribute to providing an incorrect initial pressure.

If the initial pressure is too low, the load pistonsprings may be incorrect, or the setting of themodulating valve may be incorrect.

If the initial pressure is too high, it is probable thatthere is an incorrect load piston spring, or that thesetting of the modulating valve is incorrect.

Remove the modulating valve and inspect loadpiston springs (19). Measure the rate of the springs.Refer to Specifications, RENR5133, “Power Train”.

If the rates of the springs are correct, shims (22)must be added or removed from behind the loadpiston spring. Refer to Table 13 for the correctshims to use in order to adjust the initial pressuresetting of the modulating valve.

Test the pressures for the individual axle differentiallocks. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing andAdjusting, “Power Train Pressures”.

If the pressure in an individual axle differential lockis observed to be lower than the specification, theremay be an internal leak in the axle. Check thelevel of the oil in the axle. Refer to Operation andManual, SEBU7498. If the level of the oil in the axleis higher than the specification, there may be a leakin the seals on the piston of the axle differential lockor there is a leak in the lines for the axle differentiallock that are inside the axle. Repair the seals orrepair the damaged line.

Testing and Adjusting Section

If the pressure in an individual axle differential lockis observed to be within the specification, the pistonin the axle differential lock clutch may be stickingor there may be damage to the plates and to thedisks in the axle differential lock. Inspect the oil inthe axle for debris that may indicate damage to theaxle differential lock. Refer to Systems Operation,Testing and Adjusting, “Visual Inspection”. Debris inthe oil may indicate damage to the axle differential.Remove the axle differential and inspect the axledifferential for damage. Refer to Disassembly andAssembly, RENR5139, “Differential - Disassembleand Assemble”.
