M5040 Transmission

[SC 5040]

My 2007 M5040 4x4 tractor (with front loader) acts like the transmission is slipping when backing up. I checked the hydraulic / transmission fluid and it was a little low, added fluid but it did not help.

Any ideas?

That's a synchronized gear transmission Isn't it??
The Gears can't slip...

Do you think the Clutch is slipping?

It is.....I just bought the tractor on Friday and it only has 200 hours....i just read in the manual that I should not use the clutch when changing from forward to reverse...... do you think it is taking time to shift in and when i accerate the sych does not have time to change? I gues I should not be using the clutch to change direction on the shuttle shift?

Any other Ideas?

Synchronized Shuttle Shift or Hydraulic Shuttle Shift?

It has the 4 gears with a Forward and reverse on the stearing wheel.....

Both Synchronized Shuttle Shift or Hydraulic Shuttle Shift have a steering column mounted "shuttle shift" lever. On a Synchronized Shuttle Shift, you use a foot clutch to change direction. On a Hydraulic Shuttle Shift, you can use a foot clutch or the hydraulically activated clutch via the "shuttle shift" on the steering column.

The engagement on a hydraulic shuttle shift feels less precise than the synchronized due to the hydraulic clutch pack.

Are you getting slippage during the shift or after you are well under way?

EDIT: I just remembered that foreman Etexas has an M5040 and will know all about your tractor.

Likely a pressure problem, either a valve is leaking or possibly a leak in a clutch pack. Doubt it is the main clutch as it would slip in forward gears too.

Anyway I could check to see if the valve is leaking or do you have to remove the transmission?

How about a leak in the clutch pack?

Could these be simiple fixes.....

Valve would be on the side of the tranny somewhere and should be easy. Clutch pack not so easy. It would have to come out meaning taking the tractor apart. You dealer or someone with proper gauges should be able to tell if the pressures are out.
It maybe as simple as adjusting the valve.

yup, kubo man has it right....bet you it's an adj on the shuttle shift (hyd) on the column mount.....can be adj for forward or reverse, just adj for fully engaged either way.......happened on my 7040 from fac....you may be able to do yourself....
