Hi guys,
I have a CASE VAC-14, also I have a service manual from yesterday's tractors. I've been having problems with it getting stuck shifting gears and having a hard time getting it back to neutral. Its not "in gear" but its not out of gear.
First question, is that what it means when the manual talks about getting stuck in two gears at once?
Next question, I've pulled the shifter cover off and out and inspected the shifters. Problem is that even with the service manual I don't know what I'm looking for to be wrong. What should I be looking for? How would I know if a shifter was bent? I'm hesitant to start fully disassembling the whole apparatus until I have eliminated any easier to fix possibilities.
A couple things, one gear has a broken tooth and there is a broken half of a metal ring. For all I know that could be a washer or part of the shifter spring but there was a post about checking the reverse gears ring or bushing or something in another post, any thoughts on that? I will try to attach some images.
Other things, how does this oil look? All things considered this gearing and whatnot looks pretty good to me considering the outside of the case and other things I've disassembled but then again everything in the service manual is a black and white photo copy.
Thanks for your time,
- Ian
