Been messing with a 4000 3 cyl sos. Bought it dead, and replaced the torque limiting clutch and got it going
Since getting it going, has always been slow to engage in reverse and 9, 10. It had sat for a couple of years before I got it, so I kept thinking after some use and fresh oil it would loosen up.
Not so much. Finally hooked up some gauges and by my book shows it as a leak in clutch 1 circuit. So my question is how do I find the leak? Is it possible that it's a sticky valve in the control valve? It has the older one, that the plungers return via spring pressure. I have a new control valve of the new style, that moves the plungers by levers both ways, but I can't find the oil return tube to go with it. I'm tempted to run it without and see what happens. I assume the oil will make it to the bottom of the transmission on its own withoutthe pipe
Any suggestions on how to find the leak issue or a 9/68+ oil return tube would be good
