D6c Steering Clutches (again)

vendredi 29 août 2014

Previous thread from a few days ago about "D6c Steering Clutches Not Completely Releasing" got me wondering about my clutches, which act the same way.



Looked up the specs for my s/n range and started checking pressures.

----------------------------------------

Pump pressure at "G" (trans filter) spec: 315 psi @ low idle, 350 ±10 @ high idle (in neutral)

Checks: 300 @ low idle and 410 @ high idle

----------------------------------------

Pump pressure at "K" (steering chk valve) spec: 315 psi min @ low idle w/clutches released (I assume that means levers pulled out), (No High idle spec)

Checks:

330 psi w/both levers in

225 psi w/both levers pulled

265 psi w/left lever pulled

265 psi w/right lever pulled

---------------------------------------

LH Clutch pressure at "J" (pipe to LH clutch) Spec: 315 psi min @ low idle w/clutches released

Checks:

0 psi w/levers in

220 psi w/both levers pulled

260 psi w/LH lever pulled

---------------------------------------

RH Clutch pressure at "H" (pipe to RH clutch) Spec: 315 psi min @ low idle w/clutches released

Checks:

0 psi w/levers in

200 psi w/both levers pulled

240 psi w/RH lever pulled

---------------------------------------

Hope that isn't too confusing....maybe someone can tell me what could be causing the pressure variations.

The pressure at the filter seems odd...too low at low idle & too high at high idle. Has someone boosted the pressure to compensate for a worn pump?



Note: The seals at the steering clutch pistons have been replaced to try and help clutch dragging (mostly when cold), but it didn't improve it.



I haven't checked any of the other trans pressures listed on the spec page yet....mostly concerned about clutch operation for now.

Next time I'm up at Ziegler's I may see if there's someone in shop that's old enough to have some experience with a D6c.
