New to the forum and new to owning a dozer. I picked up this 655 Track loader for $3k not to long ago, it runs great but it needs a shuttle clutch. I have the parts and the service manual and Im pretty mechanically inclined so I am going to tackle this one on my own. So what i was hoping for is somebody has some pics or videos or just tips on splitting the case to get to the clutch out. Thats the only part Im really concerned with. I have searched for a while trying to find any videos on splitting a dozer/crawler and can not find anything. |

Have you checked the pressure to the shuttle shift valve ? or the filter up front behind the screen ? any leaks of convertor oil on the ground ?

Thanks for the replies.
I haven’t checked the pressures. It runs strong for the first 20-30 minutes till it gets hot. I’m pushing trees on a hill so I’m running it hard. I know it’s slipping because I can hear it and I can idle down, get it to catch and then idle up and pull. Any tips on splitting it? |

Also it’s weaker in reverse than forward when it starts slipping which is another reason I am ASSUMING the pressure is good.
The manual gives me directions on checking pressure so I will check it just to be sure. I was wrong one time before lol. |

I think the clutches are alright. It sounds to me like when everything gets
hot the pump is sucking air on the return line. Check pressure when hot. then check the rubber hose at the end of line next to the transmission. I think this is where your problem is. |

since it works very strong till it gets hot , it is not the clutches. Jim is right. suction line or pump , and check the filter for starters .

So I checked the shuttle pressure and I can only get up to 150psi at wide open throttle. I drug the bucket and loaded it up and it jumped to 175ish one time.
Looks like a am going to change fluids and filters and see what happens before I do clutches. |

be sure to check the suction line after it gets hot. most likely the problem .

also, rather than dropping the belly pan , run it till it gets to slipping and check the pressure and then tighten the clamps on the return suction line. look down the left side of the convertor tube and you will see it and the clamps . should fix it .

Yeah whatever screen there is in this system.
Update I checked pressure, couldn’t get over 150psi and mainly hovered around 100psi. It jumped around a good bit. I changed the fluid because it looks like it may have a little water in it. Changed the filter and tightened all the band clamps on the rubber boots. Filled it back up let it warm up and put it in gear. Now I can barely get over 50psi??? I thought it may be air in the line so I let it run for about 15 minutes then I Moved back and forth for about 15 minutes and the result didn’t change. |

you could put a pipe t in the line coming out of the filter that goes to the shuttle valve. insert the pressure gauge to see if pressure is 150 or more. if not check back toward the pump which is fed from the sump line . there is supposed to be a screen in the line from the pump to the convertor tube. did you find hose that connects to the shuttle sump located at the convertor tube. there are clamps there also. sometimes the rubber hose over the metal sleeve at the sump gets rotten and allows air to suck into the system. tough location especially on the loaders.

I will check the line coming from the filter.
Also I tightened the clamps on the rubber boots at the pump and at the converter tube. I cleaned them up and checked them best I could without removing them and they seemed to be intact. I didn't want to remove them and break the seal if there was one. |

sounds good . were you able to get all the way down to the sump connection ? I do not believe you have a serious problem . Might take line coming from the filter to the shuttle valve loose and put it into the location where you add fluid for the torque tube. start it up on idle and see if you get any air out of the system. You may want to let it pump into 2 gal. jug or bigger. the convertor fill tube may not take it fast enough. just a thought.

Yes I got all clamps from the pump to the sump on both sides. I will try to crack a line tonight and see what happens.
What is the line that runs from the pump to the sump on the left side ? what is the line that runs from the pump under the engine and to the back of the trans on the right side? Randal if you were a little closer I would just haul it to you and we would get it figured out quick Im sure. |

Yes if only we were closer we could get it fixed. The line from pump under engine to the right side is for the hydraulics. The line on the left side to sump is the suction line for the back end of pump that is for shuttle clutch you are checking.

I’m officially stumped.
I changed both rubber boots at the sump and at the pump. Checked all my fittings in the system for leaks and I’m up to 60psi. I took my gauge off the tee and let it purge out for a second and didn’t get any air. It’s got ok flow but it’s not 250pei worth. I don’t know what to check now |

You said you had the service manual, but do you have the parts manual?
they are most times together. The parts manual show a brake down of this sys on page 178 with the screen. I thinking your trouble maybe with the relief valve or spring in the shuttle valve on page 188. If you do not have these send me private message with your address and I will mail you copies. Jim |

I have a digital copy of the parts manual. I think I should have said how to I get to the screen in the sump?
I think you may be right about something in the valve. The manual says if it’s only 50 psi is the relief valve but I’m tryong to get everything else clean before I get to it. |

If you can not get pressure on the line at the filter there would be no way to get it at the shuttle valve. I still think the problem is between the pump and sump. could be a crack in the metal line from pump to sump ? is the convertor tube still full of ATF fluid ? The torque convertor holds several quarts itself. By the way how did the front filter look ? any metal or things that should not be there ?

Everything looked pretty clean except some signs of water in the ATF from the old cracked cap I believe. I actually cleaned the whole metal line from sump to pump and it wasn’t wet anywhere.
