Yeah me too Dave. I felt it on the way home from Clearwater. Under light acceleration its hardly noticeable but with the camper on and moderate acceleration you feel it pretty good. You think fluid change will help at all?

 

It can help. Make sure you use the friction modifier as well!

 

I figured it was worth a shot. I picked up the modifier at Ford today and 4 quarts of synthetic gear lube will be here in the a.m.

 

Can't hurt to try. Worst case I guess is the fluid get's wasted. But even if it still does it some, you can drive if you want. But the end result is still inevitable...

 

Make sure it isn't tranny fluid Troy

 

Kinda what I thought. Your just full of good news arent ya? Lol I may have to schedule a rebuild myself sometime. But it will have to wait till this tranny is paid for! Does the whole thing need to be rebuilt?

 

Yeah...... I knew I should have kept that pail of gear lube! haha

 

Good point Jay! ha ha ha!

Depends on what it looks like Troy. Sometimes you can just do the clutch packs, sometimes it's a total overhaul.

 

It wasn't the right weight anyway but I couldn't resist. That really sucks you are having issues.

I did not realize Tom was having problems with his either.

 

Gotcha Dave...I am going to guess that someday I will know. haha Hate to keep bothering you with all the questions but is there anything I should be looking for while I have the cover that could tell me how bad it is?

 

Yeah Tom has been having trouble that I know of since the GTG in WI.

 

Yeah, he's had issues for a while...

Take a look at the wear pattern on the internal gears Troy, also look at the ring and pinion teeth to see if the are shaving the edges. They should be flat, not sharp. Also pay attention to how much material is in the bottom of the housing. It won't drain out, so you can actually wipe it and see what it looks like. Take a pic or two if you'd like. Then I can peak at them.

 

Oh, and it's no bother...

 

Sounds good Dave and thanks I appreciate it and I will do that tomorrow!

Well guys I am off to bed! Have a good night guys!

 

Sounds good Troy!

I'm out too. See ya tomorrow everyone.
