440IC slipping

Post by gregjo1948 » Tue Aug 01, 2017 11:14 am

After working a while the main clutch or reverser is slipping. What's the best way to determine what's slipping?
Thanks, gregjo1948

The main clutch will be "thin" if it is slipping. In other words, the slightest pressure past free travel will increase the slip. You need to pull the engine, regardless.

Make sure it isn't your steering clutches
