Forward/Reverse Cat D8 22A

[Jeffhv]

Have much difficulty changing from forward to reverse and vice versa when the motor is running in my Cat D8 22A. All works freely when the motor is stopped. The Interlock mechanism seems to work fine (tested with motor stopped) and the clutch brake seems to be stopping the drive shaft ok with the motor running. However, changing direction with the motor running involves "rocking" the machine slightly with the clutch until the interlock frees up. Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Go to the crawler forum and there are some guys there that can help you with more information. Mine is limited to the old Cats from back before time lost them.

Hello Jeff welcome to YT! If you are not that familiar
with forums most like the YT forums have multiple
different topic sections. Cat guy is suggesting you
post on the section dedicated to Crawlers and
backhoes etc. I will give you a link to it.

Thanks for the heads up.
