which O/D? (LH, A, D, J?)
400lbs is not 'high'.... spec vs what works best vary ...let alone what
actually works correctly vs the condition of the springs
At a minimum on j types.... unless you have it under full load there is
no way to validate the Annulus clutch (outer ring of the planetary gear
assy) is not slipping.
Not slipping in to O/D I'd look at oil level and viscosity. Some say
80-90 Castrol Hypoy (servie manual) many rebuilders switch to
non-detergent straight 30WT. BOTH are very close to the same viscosity,
its the additives that are different. I've seen synthetic work great,
and have seen disasters using syn. PAYOR . when I put one together
(10? 15 now?) , I usually will use 90wt (as my user manual specs) DO NOT
use the 'smelly' stuff...the sulphur will eat the yellow metal.
Interlock switch on top? first place I'd check. Only takes a little flex
to have the lever NOT flip the interlock switch correctly......
In most cases (if installed) simply removing the fiber washer between
switch and case (no fear it won't leak), will extend the push button tip
far enough into the case to activate correctly. Often the washer is too
thick, so push button throw position is slightly off, and even the
button tip worn down so it does not activate as designed.
Also clean and dielectric grease every elec connection in the path
(while you're in there.)
