IH 3588 TA downshift slow

[Morgan3428]

I have a 3588 and TA shifts ahead just fine, however when I shift it back it pauses in a neutral position or slips until it bangs into gear (this happens regardless of how fast or slow I move the shift leaver). Any Ideas would be great. Thankyou.

Any time a TA starts acting funny, it's usually shot in my experience. You can try to adjust the problem away, but it won't help. You can fiddle with the MCV, and squeeze, and hope, and play the denial game, but the TA is shot and needs to be replaced.

Check the TA cable. Can come loose & not move the selector spool far enough.

Only one reason that it will pause in a neutral, no drive situation. That is the sprag is not catching right away. Worn out. That being said, many have run them for years that way. You can clutch when shifting to TA and it will probably take off and work. That still gives you an upshift on the go, but no down shift. Then eventually it won't pull at all in low TA.
