hello
I have a l4350 with the ever clutch hydraulic shuttle. It is having issues with shuttle valve its hard to move it from Forward back to nuetral, and reverse back to nuetral. When it goes from F/R(Forward/reverse) to nuetral the valve seems to build pressure on the shaft of the clutch valve. This sometimes causes me to pull a bit harder going to nuetral and it goes right from Forward to reverse causing a very abrupt change in direction (not good). If your going from nuetral to F/R the lever moves easily. Also shuttle lever moves easily with tractor off
(no hydraulic pressure)
It only seems to build pressure after it is in F/R for 3 to 4 sec. or more. I thought first it was linkage issues so when though all that and tighten up all the worn and sloppy linkage, this helped a little. Then cleaned and lubed the spring loaded position ball on the clutch valve that helped a little more. I removed the spring positioning assembly and moved valve by hand and from nuetral to F/R easily moved with fingers, but from F/R to nuetral had to use a pliers. Question is are these valves just like this or is there possibly a vavle issue. All other hydraulics work fine. Any comments are appreciated Thanks
