Well, first off, I hope everyone stayed reasonably cool today, it was hot here in KY. I got to do about 3 hours of round baling with my 7000 this afternoon and try it out since cleaning the powershift valve body. The good was the fuel sender is working again after retightening the sender wire and the PTO didn't kick out once when running at full speed (and the air conditioning was nice with it 95 degrees outside lol).
There were a couple of things that concern me still. Mainly, the lube pressure light stays on right up to 1800 if not a hair over (under 1900 still) when in 1st range and the 3rd range clutch is intermittent as far as engagement goes. Ususally the first time you shift into it, it only builds up 1/2 pressure or so and slips (pressure light is dimly lit), but if I shift back to second, then back to 3rd, it usually grabs and the pressure light is off. Also, then taking off in 1st range, the clutch is slower to engage. The 2nd range is working flawlessly with quick shifts and no light on at any rpms. The PTO didn't make any difference to the light being on, so I think it's sealing fine.
I am wondering if this goes back to the 1st and 3rd range clutch pack having flyballs that didn't seem to seal when I used air to pressurize them? The reason I think the flyballs didn't seal is because these two packs sprayed air out through the small holes in the housing next to the plug where the flyballs are. The 2nd range pack didn't do this and engaged firmly with little to no air bypassing the seal. I didn't fish the flyballs and springs out when I cleaned everything because I was afraid of messing up something.
