parsons gearbox problems

[martin cairns]

thank you very much

[martin cairns]

When i put the air hose to the piston direct i can hear the piston pushing on the plates,but when i apply the air to the shaft i cant hear the piston moving at all

 

The way i have it in pic,i can hear air coming out the shaft hole whare the oil gets pumped in to push the plates, maybe its different with oil getting pu,mped in

I measured the clutch plates too and they 2.3 mm

After spending days and days testing .the piston was jamming on one side due to the barrel being pitted and the seal was not good either. So ive renewed it and had the barrel cleaned up. Im going to try it tomorow and hopefully it works

New problem, it seems to want to cut out when past half revs.ill replace the filters and see from there.
