What if it Snows?

According to the Eaton trouble shooting guide, It may be a bad regulator, or filter on the slave cylinder. Or maybe the slave cylinder itself. The piston may not be working right. They can take it off, leaving the air lines hooked up, and check the operation. I don’t know enough about it myself. Hopefully it’s not a bad synchronizer, the whole back auxiliary has to come off to fix it. I’ve got a bad output shaft bearing. Same deal, back half has to be torn apart. Too much labor. Price of a reman auxiliary is expensive. Just going to run it till I need a whole trans.

 

Looks like the filters on the regulator, not the slave cylinder.

 

High to low. At 15 mph it usually thunks pretty bad. At 2 mph nothing. Some times grinds when dropping to low, not often. Low to high rarely makes noise.

 

Some mechanics are thieves and scum bags .

The mechanics. I got there Friday, tell me bring in it Monday and by the afternoon will have top plate off. Wendsday comes at 3 pm they got it off. Im paying for a hotel room. They keep taking road calls and push my crap back. I take the top plate in my rental car to the transmission rebuildeR in town. Thursday , he tells me it's fine . I ask him how long would it take him to go thru a 10sp FR15210B. Answer next Friday I could have it rebuilt. $3200 tops. The mechanics are like the trans looks fine , so it must be in the back box. Must be. How much did they want $2800 to go thru synchros. I told them I can get it rebuilt for 3200, they called me lair and then backed up and said the transmission shop they sent me to drop the top plate was lying. The transmission shop was going get me in and then jack up the price. LMAO.

I went with a junk yard transmission with a small warrenty. I had mechanics that didn't give a ### that I was dropping money on a rental car and hotel. I didn't want to spend another week on hotel money. To get them to put in the transmission I had sit there all day to make sure they didn't take road calls. What a bunch of greedy ########. Also the original quote to drop the transmission and swap was light by $650. I had a shaft driven PTO. Two carrier bearings, pto and a pump. Well all nuts were rounded, since are metric heads and not SAE. I had to break apart my pump a bit to get it in the fitting box. So, I went to harbor freight and bought metric wrenches and impact sockets. The bolts came off with out any more deformation. $50 worth of tools.

This guy rebuilt a dump truck transmission.

Honestly it doesn't look terribly hard. The transmission needs to be timed. The back box, might just come off with out the timing. Granted down time, is it worth it.

 

Chec

check out. global transmissions.com. They have a troubleshooting guide. Basically, checking for air leaks, if no leaks, you can check the pressure at the rear of trans at the regulator. Each rubber line will have pressure, when range is selected. If it’s good, check the regulator filter, then regulator. If pressure isn’t good, at both lines, check the slave piston. by taking it off, with airlines connected. If everything checks out good, might be the synchronizer. But since it only does it when splitting down, maybe the synchronizer is fine. I really don’t know. Just a thought.

 

Judge, just had a memory relating to your coolant gremlin.

My isx did similar when it had an air bubble in the system.
Get the coolant up to temp and bleed he heater lines, then the motor.

Never ceases to amaze me how much air wouldm huff out of a system that was seemingly working fine.

 

Yeah, I’ve watched those videos and read the manual. The counter shafts need to be timed, and held in place with temporary straps, also some snap rings involved. The main shaft bearings need to be heated. Seems like a lot of technical stuff to me. I’d rather get a good auxiliary unit, and have it swapped out. Depending on the price. For Me, I’m sure I could do it, but the downtime along with potential of a mistake, would be a deterrent. Labor to swap out a whole trans, probably is close to the same price. I wish it were simpler, my output shafts had play for 8 yrs. showed up only a couple yrs after buying the reman trans. Very aggravating. My clutch is new, and will last 10 yrs. My trans has over a million miles. So I’ll probably need one soon. If so clutch will stay put.
