I have a 2006 TC55DA with only 323 hours. The previous owner rode the clutch really hard. Have run out the adjustment on the shuttle-shift clutch till there are no threads visible. The clutch must be almost gone. The clutch slips, but holds in lower gears, but does not move in the upper range. Can anyone describe the clutch replacement process? Any advice or inside info would be helpful. Does anyone have a copy of the clutch replacement section in the repair manual? Aftermarket parts supplier? Someone mentioned hi-capacity. Thanks!

I'm assuming this is not an EHSS machine.

I know this thread is old but did you ever find the information you needed? I don't know why across just about all of these forums it seems like no one does their own repair work. I can't help you, but I have a Case IH DX55, which is the same tractor as the one you are needing to work on. I was quoted 10-20 hours PLUS parts. That's STUPID HIGH. I'll take my chances on doing the job myself before I pay those kind of rates. Not even sure how they get away with that, but I bet they don't do many. LOL.

It may seem high but I could see well over 10 hours labor, there are a several lines to disconnect linkages to remove, pto main shaft, most likely a loader and loader frame, then splitting the tractor and separating the halves, R&R the clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, possible pto drive hub (if it has one) pilot bearing.
Then bring it all back together and reconnect everything. Just think if it had a cab what the cost would be.
Then consider the jacks and stands and rollers to support it all and move the halves.
It is not a fun job to do, not real difficult but pretty time consuming.
An individual doing it in a small farm or home shop would likely be a couple of days taking apart a few days getting required parts, a couple or 3 days back together and another day getting all adjusted and trimmed out.
Been there done that, not super hard but not a lot of fun either.
Some old iron was much easier, my Oliver with the bathtub frame you pulled the engine rotated a bit set it on the frame pulled the auxillary trans and had the clutch right there, no splitting required, but not many of that style still around.
