    D6N transmission ?

    If it only has the problem in reverse it can only be a failed clutch or reverse solenoid problem. I would suggest checking screens for evidence of clutch material and if so, you may as well just pull it. If you post a picture of the screens on here we can probably help analyze it.

    Cat d6c torque converter overheating

    PCA16, good advice from Lonestar to test for flooding because if you have too much oil in there, no need to get out the gauges. The only thing we would add is that flooding is caused by one of three things: -Worn scavenge pump that can’t keep up with normal residual torque oil. -Excessive...

    I recommend this site for determining the year of just about any Cat machine: http://www.ironrecord.com/ It seems to agree with badalton24 about the 1979 year.

    Help with CAT 950B transmission

    Uh oh….that plastic piece sounds like a planetary thrust washer which can be very bad if allowed to run to destruction. We can positively identify it if we have a good photo. The plastic orifice is located under the pressure control valve and the entire valve block must be removed in order to...

    Help with CAT 950B transmission

    Well Chris, you are becoming quite the transmission expert! Correct you are about neutral pressure and that’s what it is designed to do for example if you were to start the machine while in gear (another thing to check) as it’s supposed to maintain protective lube pressure while not allowing...

    Help with CAT 950B transmission

    We’ve pulled them before by removing the seat, tight but should be doable. Have you checked your neutralizer? Might be wise to disconnect the line coming into the side of upper transmission case first. These valve’s rarely go bad but there is a plastic orifice screen in there that can be clogged.

    Help with CAT 950B transmission

    Remember to always check screens and filters first! If clean go ahead with transmission pressure check and this can be done easily at the top of the filter housing. The pressure should be approximately 400 PSI and you should run it through all four speeds in both directions while watching the...
