2394 trany question

[jon f mn]

Looked at a 2394 today, white/black with 3 spd ps. It shifted hard from 1-2, maybe a little too hard, but from 2-3 it was very slow to shift. Maybe a 3 count from shift to lockup. Once it was in gear I couldn't make it slip at all in any gear it was just slow to shift. Is this just an adjustment thing or a slipping clutch pack or maybe an oil leak? Hyd, 3 pt, and pto work and donot affect shift at all. Clutch acts right when you push it down and works good when you let it up.

In 1st w/eng running, c1&c2 solenoids should be magnetized and able to hold a 1/4" flat washer on their ends. When shifted to 2nd, washer should drop off c2, and c3 solenoid should be instantly magnetized. U could plug gauges into c2& c3 ports and watch press swap plus swap solenoids and see if prob changes. A diag box from Case would take out all the guess work.

I have never used the special test tool from CASE but I'm sure that would remove the guess work in finding the problem. This spring I worked on one that had the hessitation in several shifts. Drove me nuts, everything hydraulicly and electricly checked out OK. In desperation I changed the relay board, problem solved. However I can not suggest to replace the board based on that occurence until the unit is tested more throughly. Hope this story did'nt add to the confusion. Rod.

Does the 3spd have a board too? I thought that was a 6 spd thing.

I'm sorry , I assumed the tractor had the 24 sp. I do not know what the 12 sp. units have as I have never seen a 2394 equiped that way. Rod.

The 12 speeds have the shift control box. It is the same box as a 24 but, all the spots don't have wires connected.
