Needle valve setting 450 hlr
Hey guys, I have a straight 450 loader with the hlr tranny. I’m doing a major overhaul and need some help. I replaced the clutch oil manifold with a new one. The one setting that my book doesn’t have is the needle valve setting, don’t know how many turns off from bottomed it should be. Does anyone have info on what that setting should be, or at least start out at. Thanks!

The b manual says (with a pressure gauge at the test point):

edit to add:
My understanding is the needle valve controls the harshness of the shift and not cracking your neck like a whip is a good thing.When shifting from reverse to high or high to reverse, the oil pressure at the by-pass valve in the accumulator housing should drop from and return to engaging oil pressure in 1.5 seconds average. If deviation from this time is observed, readjust clutch oil manifold needle valve.

Install needle valve in bore. Screw down until finger tight, and back off three turns. This is a preliminary setting. Tighten jam nut.
