Stock Trany Shifting Questions
Still working on completing the body work and paint on my Hercules Repower M715. I had to have the clutch rebuilt and beefed up this recently to keep up with the torque of the intercooled turbo Herc.
Now I am starting to drive her again and find it very hard to shift during the first 15 minutes of driving. I did a complete fluid change in the tranny, t-case and diffs using the recommended, conventioinal gear oil. Levels look fine.
Is this tranny problematic when it is cold (New Hampshire weather)?
Also, even after it is warmed up, it is very difficult to downshift from 4th to 3rd, to 2nd. Any suggestions or comments welcome.
The truck is going in for paint on December 7th, Dodge Candy Apple Red.
I will post some pics when it is back.
Thanks for any help!
