L355SS sometimes not moving forward.

Well I've been through all the major transmission problems with this tractor. Had a bad bearing on my clutch pack. That's fixed, in the tractor runs good. But sometimes I think I've always noticed this, I shift into gear and move forward on the shuttle shift and it doesn't move. Then I hit reverse and it's fine, then moving forward again and it runs fine now. Any thoughts?

If I recall correctly, your tractor has 2 clutches and a shuttle valve. I'd suspect a linkage adjustment. If not, something going on in the shuttle valve.

My guess is the Shuttle valve is either not seeing the right pressure or it's sticking.

Well I'll look into that next time I get into it. Thanks.

Your right about the clutches. Thanks for the tip.
