Case 580G

[County1174lwb]

Evening CMN,
We are seem to have a problem with the transmission on the family's 580G.
Basically it's lost forward drive, although it's fine in reverse so I assume it's a problem with the forward clutch pack? Are there any further tests to carry out or checks to be made or any advice as to where we go from here? It's been a very reliable machine up until now so would hate to park it up for something relatively simple.

Any ideas gratefully received

Ian

A bit more info for you all. The shuttle seems to be a Borg Warner unit, would this be the same unit as fitted to early JCB 3cx machines?

Hi Ian hopefully some knowledgeable CMN member will be able to offer you a bit of guidance.

I have just had my transmission mended in my 1986 180. Mine was the pump. Picking it up tomorrow so will tell you more then.Yours is definitely worth doing

Hi diggerjones, what symptoms did you have with your machine?
How did you get on dropping the box out?
and who did the overhaul for you?

[diggerjones]

My problem was the pump on mine. The shaft had snapped.

Sorry I got a guy to do it.
