601 selectospeed, intermittent 9th gear?

All gears work well, but some times 9th is intermittent. Checked fluids, ok.... Sometimes it will engage, travel maybe 50 feet, and fall out. If you move to another gear, then back, it may hold. Any ideas? Sean
 
I'm pretty sure thats a good sign the over running
clutch is starting to go. R1 seems to be a common
gear it does the same thing in. We have a 981 that
9th and R1 hardly ever work and 5th and 6th are
come and go. Gonna put the picker/sheller on it
so not too concerned about it right now, wont be
able to run over 4th gear anyway. Does anybody
have any ideas on fixes for the ORC other than a
new one. Have heard of some IH guys doing things
to the TA which has a similar clutch
 
I've rebuilt an iH TA (656) by installing new springs and rollers. It did work for awhile afterwards, but as I recall it eventually needed a complete unit.
