Reverser or transmission/engine clutch?
Reverser or transmission/engine clutch?
In first or second gear my 350B seems to push and work fine, both forward and reverse. In third gear under no load it takes a second to start moving when I push the power reverser forward. I don’t have much need for 4th gear, but when I put it in gear, and push the reverser lever forward, nothing happens for about 5 seconds, then it starts to move, but slowly. After a few feet of movement the engine lugs down and starts to stall. RPM’s are there but no power. Although it shifts into gears without grinding, the clutch pedal seems to have too much travel. Is the problem in the engine clutch, power reverser, an adjustment issue or someplace else? Or is it that I just don’t know how to drive?

Sorry about the double post.

Hi,
You do not have an engine clutch in a 350 with a reverser. It's all hydraulic operation within the reverser housing. Two clutch packs, one for forward and one for reverse and hydraulic control valves for the two reverser levers and the clutch pedal. Something is not right with that part from the sound of it, but I never had this exact set of symptoms so I don't know just what is causing this.

Re: Reverser or transmission/engine clutch?
So then the clutch pedal would disengage the reverser clutch packs as you put it in gear, would that be correct? What is the free play on that pedal supposed to be?
