The device under the shift cable with a line in and another out is the fluid valve for the converter lock-up (didn't see it the first time I looked at the pictures) the little switch by the lever is the neutral safety. I suppose it's possibe the shaft broke inside with enough material left on...
The other thing that just occured to me; Is the Parking Brake FULLY released? Nothing blocking the lever? That transmission has more power in reverse than in forward gears (remember the thing about NOT putting the transmission in Reverse with the transfer case in Low Range)
The lever is only a piece of flat stock with a couple flats cut in the hole where its nutted to the shaft going inside; it's possible that nut came looks and stripped/damaged the flat-stock lever, hence the suggestion to remove the cable connection and manually move it; if it's loose/worn you'll...
The Neutral safety switch has two wires: power in and in the N position power out. That's not what I'm referring to; look on the other side for a device with a fluid line going in and out. I'm thinking it was something to do with the PTO buy just don't remember. I'll ask around the Shop today...
The transmission is a combination of hydraulic pump and mechanical gear box. The Torque converter has two functions; it transmits power to a pump that supplies pressurized oil while rotating gears inside. When engaged, the fluid is diverted to the proper piston which applies pressure to a clutch...
Again, look at the TM; I prefer the Parts book when looking at exploded diagrams, makes things much easier than "assembly (10) is attached to (3) outside of (12)..." drives me nuts!
A broken band strut or similar would still leave you with some forward gears ..[/ QUOTE]
NO - low is all forward clutches disengaged, all forward bands engaged. A busted band, ripped off lining or dropped pin would give nothing forward because have to have speed to shift up and...
Go to the TM section, find TM9-2320-272-24P-1 down load it and look at illustration 198. The Transmission itself is an Allison MT654 with an NSN of 2520-01-117-3010 (Allison PN# 11669085) There's also a modulator valve on the side that's connected at the throttle linkage; it could be "stuck"...
Here's what I would do: First check the lever on the side for operation; remove the cable and the lever should "click" between ranges. IF you're comfortable with it; set the brakes, chalk the wheels where it CAN MOVE and with the linkage disconnected manually shift it to see what happens. All...
