2001 w900 stuck in high range, where do I start? I dont think its anything mechanical as the transmission shifts fine and doesn't make any noise while driving. Sometimes I can get it out of high range but it will just get stuck in neutral, it never goes into lo range, but I can flip the selector up and hear it click into high range. I have a load to deliver Tuesday, dont think thats happening now.
Check your air lines on the trans one may be blocked pinched or cut Or if you recently had it worked on, they may have hooked up the lines wrong Or if your truck throws a lot of oil, the valve may be sticking
The transmission was rebuilt then the truck sat for 3 or 4 years. Pulled it out of the parts truck and has been in this truck for about 6 months
You have two rubber lines to the piston housing on the top right of the transmission. Mark them. You should have air out of one in high and the other in low with about 60 PSI. If OK take the back cover off that piston. It should not be dry and rusty.
I took the plunger out of the housing not rusted, the o rings looked fine not torn or missing. I put air to the housing with an air gun, I can hear it going to low and high range. Took it for a drive and it went into low range once, but at the next stop sign it got stuck in neutral and was only able to get into high range. Does this seem like a weak air valve?
Wonder if the air regulator on the transmission is failing. Transmissions run at something like 70 PSI.
I used shop air at 120psi. I think im going to replace the slave and splitter valve tomorrow. Everything is closed around me today
Check pressure to the active hose when it will will not shift. Sounds like broken pins as AModel mentioned. That other stuff is just throwing money at it if you do not do tests.
